20.142. Black and White Nerikomi Bowl. ‘Chequer Board’

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.

19.140. Nerikomi Tapas Bowl. ‘Square Up!’

Creating the square patterns for this bowl was fun and I wanted to make a statement so decided to create a centre motif that  dwarfed the surrounding patterns. The patterns were made by layering the coloured clay and then extruding them through a square disk. The square tube is then cut and the pieces are assembled to create the pattern.

21.119. Black and White Nerikomi Bowl. ‘Round and Round We Go!’

A black and white circular patterned bowl with a black foot. The circular design takes time to create as the patterns have to be rolled rather like a swiss roll and then extruded. They are then cut and laid out and rolled flat. Trying to create a uniform pattern with wayward clay can be a real challenge.

21.25. Red, White and Black Trapezium Pot. ‘Swirls’

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.

Height 20cm. Width 11cm. Depth 11cm.
