Sculpture / Non Functional

Earthenware Sea Globes are fired many times to create complex glazing designs that have been abstractly inspired by the coastline where I live and work.

This earthenware Sea Globe has been decorated with beautiful smooth and glossy black glaze contrasted by stunning seams of rippled green, aventurine, and shades of blue creating a beautiful abstract design around the circumference of the globe. During the final firing gold detailing has been applied to the rim.

I complete very few Earthenware Sea Globes due to the success rate being low caused by the multiple firings and complex glazing designs. Each piece is unique and designed purely as a sculptural “objet d’art” and is not functional (i.e. should not be used as a vase).
