Concepts for making with clay.

Finishing the rim,throwing the material, the sensation of making 'outwardness' from 'innerness'.


Clay : Making for the hospitality of the body.



Throwing, form made from the solid unformed centre of the clay lump.

Making volumes/innerness from solid unformed material.

Throwing is manifested/made actual by opening up the space for the imagination previously contained/constrained by the mass of clay. 


Turning, form further modified by the machining/carving into the thrown vessel.

Making volumes by the excavation, the removal of material complicit to its original form.

Turning is mastered/referenced by the rim and the internal volume of the pot/bowl/vessel.


Vessels/Crucibles

The circumference, volume and surface that correspond with/into the clay vessel.

Body, Forms, Interiors. Volumes.

The Intermingling of Material and Place.

Clay, a material of human inscriptions, volumes and surfaces, a silence worn down, abraded by time.
