Conversation: Composite work

Artist / Maker: Jane PERRYMAN
View in collection Two pieces, wedge and bowl. Hand built from a mixture of porcelain & stoneware clays using a combination of coiling, press molding and slabbing processes. Sometimes organic material is mixed with the clay which will burn out during the firing and later be inlaid with a contrasting colour. All work is burnished before firing between 980 and 1100 centigrade. A second firing involves a range of smoke firing techniques including saggar firing and open firing. 
Purchased from Jame Perryman: An Indian Odyssey exhibition 2012
