A new collection for 2024, the Wildflower pattern evokes the beautiful painterly array of flowers we encounter on our countryside ramblings. Each piece is either in purple / pink or blue flowers and finished with a saffron yellow, a nod to the bold colour combinations that one sees in the South of France. No wildflower meadow would be complete without a butterfly and each piece has one flittering on the handle.
The flowers are painted with layers of slip and then covered with flower paper cut outs before painting the entire piece in a saffron yellow. Additional layers of slip are applied in order to give the piece a textural, painterly depth to the surface. Once all of the nuanced layers of slip are painted on, the paper cut outs are removed to reveal the colour of the flowers underneath. Due to this painterly process, each work is unique and I do not truly know the final look of the piece until it has been fully fired.
Thrown stoneware with layers of slip and finished with a glossy glaze. 2024
Dimensions: 9.5cm (3 3/4") h x 15cm (5 7/8") l x 10.5cm (4 1/8") w
Each work is completely unique due to the painterly process. Any irregularities in the work are due to the making and firing process and are part of the hand-made quality of the piece.
