Finished Raised and Domed Vessels

Outer of the finished raised vessel, with the hammer marks left on and then polished on a polishing machine. Approx 8cm high and 4mm wide at the rim.

The domed vessel, approximately 4cm diameter.

The interior of the vessels, both finished by using a sandblasting machine and burnishing the edges.

Finished Glazed Clay Sample

Finished Clay Sample - unknown wash resulted in a purple tint, the glaze can be seen in the yellow rectangles on the piece.

Clay and Paper Cubes

A clay cube made by slab construction featuring cut outs and textured surfaces. Inspired by a paper cube made to the same dimensions.

A paper cube made out of a net with a ruler, pencil and a papercut knife. 

Clay Experiments with Texture and Oxides

Previously made clay samples have been biscuit fired. Painted a mysterious oxide on as a wash, then sponged off with a wet cloth to highlight the texture present. Glaze applied in two small strips.

Clay Samples

A series of experiments in clay - including imprints, scores and crosshatching, approximately 15" across.

Brass Rings

My first attempt at making rings. One plain (centre) one with a hammered surface (right) and a rustic ring, with the oxide left on whilst polishing. All made from rectangles of brass cut to size.
