ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I created this vessel in stoneware paperclay, totally handbuilt with side wing type additions, very fine. The luscious black glaze of my own recipe gets its strength from a combination of oxides. After glazing the piece, I used a light cream glaze to create gestural and spontaneous designs on both sides with paintbrush and slip trailer. The overal effect is pleasing but gentle and somewhat organic. Fired to 1250 degrees C, this piece is strong as long as adequate care is taken of the protruding wings. The eliptical shape is a change from round pots and different. Interesting ideas for interior decorators and designers.

I am a French professional potter living and working in England. My first experiments in sculpture were as a young boy in French Algeria when I used to gather lumps of wall plaster out of bombed out houses and carve them. Many years later I found myself in London as a Language assistant and part time teacher as part of my studies, and enrolled in a Pottery evening class. I discovered a real Pottery in my part of East London and started helping on my day off and learning a little. I was the Saturday boy and Heather was the Wednesday girl.We met at the Christmas party and in 1972 started our own pottery. We moved to Lincolnshire in 1973 and open Alford Pottery. We produce mainly handthrown stoneware tableware and supplied many shops, galleries, restaurants and coffee shops and private customers all over the world. It wasn't until 2000 that I started sculpting seriously, specialising in stoneware paperclay and occasionally other materials and found objects. Having favored Trompe l'oeil style for years, to deceive and surprise the onlookers, I now sculpt in a more contemporary style and at times abstract. I have also realised many private commissions.
