Crystalline glazes are a stunning surface coating for pottery. Since the 1990s, I have been using them on a range of porcelain forms that I now sell at exhibitions and through galleries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have several styles of work. My wheel-thrown range includes the traditional forms of the bottle (or ‘vase’ as it is sometimes called), the bowl and the lidded jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My slip-cast work includes a range of cups and saucers and a range of stoppered bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An example of my wheel-thrown bottle forms. These are made on the potter’s wheel from a porcelain body. I have refined these forms over three decades to produce an elegant form that brings out the best in the crystals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A lidded jar form. Thrown on the wheel and then carved to give added complexity to the crystal formation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Below are two examples of my slip-cast stoppered bottles. The stoppers are ground to form an air-tight joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
