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 a beautifully flowing glazes that have been fused together at high temperature combining blues, turquoises, black, aventurine and grey tones. the piece has been inspired by the relationship between the rocky coastal landscape and the ocean here on the Pembrokeshire coast. 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).

Initialled on the base.
