Please see the note on “AllPots” for when this might be used.
The coiled pot is made from left over clay which has been lightly wedged. The patterns are clear and distinct. The shape was a challenge to get the symmetry right. The result, I think, has worked.

This tall slender pot has a black spiral neck. The flowing vertical patterns of coloured clay create a sense of movement.
Height 27cm. Diameter 7cm.
Price £40.00.
The cylindrical pot has black and white stripes which work well with the shape of the pot. This reminds me of the sharp light and dark shadows on a hot sun filled day in North Africa where shade is essential.

I am experimenting with cylindrical shapes and spiral necks. The mixing of the black and white clay have produced free flowing spiralling patterns which harmonise well with the shape.

What to do with left over clay? Mixing the 3 colours can create unique and interesting patterns. The pot is made from coils made from left over clay and then scraped to reveal the design. The uncertainly of the final result is both liberating and often times pleasantly surprising.

This was definitely a labour of love as assembling the linear black and white lines into a chequered board effect needed a fair amount of control on my part. No way could the clay be spontaneous and have a mind of its own. The patterning complimented the shape of the bowl and I was pleased with the result.

The ‘swirlings’ remind me of the eddies of a sandy whirlpool where I used to go rock pooling as a girl in Africa.
Height 9cm. Diameter 23cm.

Moving away from more ‘curvy’ pots I have been experimenting with angular shapes and seeing how the more spontaneous swirls of the agate patterns compliment the rigid form. The addition of a spiral neck also joins in the challenge.

The black, white and red clay are merged together to create a swirl of flowing colour. This is set within a square frame and a black spiral neck is added to create contrast to the sharp sides of the shape.
Height 17cm. Width 9cm. Depth 10cm.

The Nerikomi black and white patterns create a chequered board effect. It takes a long time to achieve the finished bowl as the patterned blocks try to pull away from each other so have to be dried very slowly. It can take up to one month from start to finish!
