Football Jug
This is a slip moulded piece, cast in a plaster mould of a football with a cardboard tube on top, the resulting vase was then partially dried, smoothed, and handle pulled and fitted to the widened. reshaped rim. The excess handle pulling led to the yinyan squiggly line decoration. Fired to stoneware temperatures.

My Blue Period
Modern slab design
Was experimenting with pressing things into the clay, like Lego and sticking on other lug like shapes

I did actually sell this one, but it got returned following day as one of the handles broke off, its glued back on now, so I’ve still got it displaying dried flowers
Light Blue jug
Handthrown 2 piece construction with decorated join
Serving bowl with lid
One of my few pieces with a lid, tried hand-painted floral design on unglazed section.
