Lately I have been drawn to creating more sculptural and altered forms. I wanted to make my clay vessels explore personality, and express a sense of quirkiness and character.

In this series I explored making different shapes on the wheel, and threw a series of different sized and shaped vessels. I then altered the forms and joined them together to create miniature towers of oddly shaped and placed vessels. For each one, a different personality arose, and I tried to emphasise this while joining them together.

I then added different stains and glazes, creating a contrast between internal and external, but also drawing attention to the two, and allowing the colour to make its own impression on the piece.

Several pieces in this collection are available from my online shop.
