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 beautiful earthenware Sea Globe inspired by the relationship between the sea and land has been glazed with cascades of mossy green and cobalt shades falling of sharply contrasting deep aventurine, grey and black glazes that have been fused together at high temperature. The piece is finished with gold detailing around the rim and the circumference of the globe.

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).
