Landscapes 008

£360.00

Hand thrown vessel, with a textured off-white crackle glaze reminiscent of a lunar landing, complete with craters. Carbon reactions occurring when the red hot piece was placed into burning wood has created irregular dark patches which may evolve over time. The glazed area contrasts with the rough and bare surface of the clay, which has been randomly blackened by the smoke. On one side of the vessel the glaze has separated and formed a glassy cascade, adding to the overall feeling of exploring strange and unfamiliar territory.

Unglazed and porous inside. The vessel has been mineral waxed for a soft sheen finish. This piece is entirely irregular, and therefore unique.

Made in a gritty East London courtyard.

    Inspiration and Techniques

    Typically a ceramicist with attention to detail and focussed on functional pieces and tableware, Violaine is currently experimenting with the magic of raku, an intricate and labour intensive process which entails taking her ceramics red hot from the kiln straight into contact with combustible materials. To Violaine the resulting pieces are reminiscent of a variety of landscapes: perhaps a network of roads or fields seen from above, or an unfamiliar lunar landscape. All are totally unpredictable when they are created, each piece is unique and with its own character, and leads our imagination down a different path.
