Tall Hawthorn Tree Trunk Vessel

Description

Inspiration and Making: This Tree Trunk Vessel has been made in response to a Hawthorn Tree in my local woodland. The form was made by combining 2 individually thrown cylinders into a convoluted tall column. The joins invite a textural response, and I apply wild clay slips creating layers of tonal quality. The internal space has been covered with a white stoneware glaze, making it water tight for functional use. The base is inscribed with my handwritten ‘S’ logo. This vessel has been reduction fired to enable the deep rich colours.

Sustainability: Where possible, I once fire my vessels, meaning they have a lower carbon foot-print. I use green energy to run my electric kilns and enjoy pit firing when appropriate. Many of the clays I use are mindfully foraged from local areas and I also up-cycle discarded clays from local schools.
