Following on from my Ode to Kitsch and Pop Art, I have continued to work on a body of work which reflects the everyday and in this case the political world in which we live. I have never made a political piece before but felt that this was too good an opportunity to miss! Hope…
Category: Figurative Pots
This is a collection of figurative pots, inspired by a collection of glass bottles seen in a shed in Cornwall. They are made from a variety of materials, from crank to porcelain and are all different sizes. They can work as individual pieces but are meant to be in family groupings.
BEANZ MEANZ HEINZ
Beanz Meanz Heinz on a Baked Bean ‘with all the goodness of Beanz locked in. 37cm length by 15cm height. Part of the Ode to Kitsch and Pop Art series.
Bill and Ben
Do you remember Bill and Ben the flower pot men. These two are my version of them.
In conversation (Sold)
Two mid sized barium glazed pots, in conversation.
The family
These pieces are a family. They were all made on the same day and have al been glazed using white as the base colour. The leopard spot glaze is working well and I like the way the glazes overlap to make interesting colours. These will be on show at Candid Arts, 3 – 5 Torrens…
The Fencer
This tiny piece is about 5 centimetres tall but is ready to fence. I have used blue slip and then turquoise glaze over the top.

Paperclay figurative pots
So these are made from paper clay as I broke my thumb (don’t ask) and can’t use the wheel. I have used a couple of textured moulds taken from cardboard and the one on the left is just black slip with my Waller white glaze on top. I love this speckled effect. Hope you like…
Small ecclesiastical pots
These pots have been thrown on the wheel and are part of the figurative pots project. I have made a number of different glazes but am particularly pleased with the deep red which doesn’t normally happen in an electric kiln, a happy accident, as is so often the case in pottery.
