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 focussed on functional pieces and tableware, Violaine brings her eye for detail into every creation. She is currently experimenting with the magic of raku—an intricate and labour-intensive process where pieces are taken red-hot from the kiln and placed directly into contact with combustible materials.
For Violaine, the resulting surfaces evoke a variety of landscapes: a network of roads or fields seen from above, or even unfamiliar lunar terrains. Each piece emerges with unpredictable markings, unique in character, and guiding the imagination down a different path.
