Dimensions: H: 10.5cms D: 10.5cms

Clay: Earthenware

Technique: Slip cast

Glaze: Grey, off white, aventurine, and platinum

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 grey and off white mottle glazing with bands of aventurine around the circumference of the globe. Intentional crazing in the glaze has been highlight with an off white tone to incorporate a random series of contour marking across the globe. Platinum detailing has been applied to the rim of the globe during the final firing.

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).
