Landscape Wall Pieces

Landscape Wall Pieces

Textural porcelain Wall Pieces depicting the glorious wealth of surface pattern on the Lower Derwent Ings. A beautiful Silver Birch copse, loosely reflected in moving waters, is a recurrent theme. No matter what the weather or season it always inspires and captivates the imagination. Sharp sgraffito lines cut through layers of slip to the underlying porcelain, scratching out the delicate lines and forms of silver birch tree trunks.Glazes, slips and oxides are applied in multiple layers, building up the landscape in layers of texture. The result is a balance between control and the chance effects created in the kiln, making each picture an original piece of ceramic art. An element of unpredictability about how glazes will react always makes kiln opening an exciting moment.
