Batik and collages by Penny Laird I have over 20 years’ experience of working with ceramics, and make thrown stoneware from my studio in Bath. I produce work in a contemporary style ranging from small batch domestic ware through to decorative pieces of tall vases and large bowls with more individual finishes. My particular interest is in using volcanic slips, glazes and oxides to produce textures and colours inspired by the coastal landscape. My intention is to obtain some of the spontaneous and individual qualities found in wood firing within oxidised electric kiln firings. My ceramics are all hand thrown on the wheel, generally in Potclays 1142/30 sanded white stoneware clay, and electric kiln fired in an oxidised atmosphere to 1240º c (cone 8). The gallery has original work by Trevor for sale.  Trevor Lillistone Robert Hill Please click on any of the images below for further details.
