Large Bowls
A large collection of wheel thrown bowls created over the last decade exhibiting a very diverse range of clay bodies, firing methods, forms, surfaces, and textures.
Clay Bodies
All clay bodies are high fire stoneware clays or porcelain fired to 1280°C in reduction in a gas kiln or in oxidation in an electric kiln depending on the glaze and the desired effect.
Iron-rich Clays
Many of the black, dark brown and red clays, some of which are quite coarse, are my own blend of stoneware clays and oxides. Some of these have had additional fluxes added to the clay body and several have had a shino glaze applied before firing to 1280°C in reduction in a gas kiln.

Southern Ice and Lumina Porcelains
On some of these works I have applied a transparent ultra-violet glaze or various matte crystalline glazes prior to firing in oxidation in an electric kiln. Brushwork using slips and oxides has been applied in a spontaneous manner on some of the works.
For more images and further information on the nature, origins and qualities of porcelain, including Southern Ice porcelain, see the Southern Ice porcelain page.
Awards
Large bowls 1 and 4 received an award of merit in the Moreton Bay Regional Art Awards in May 2018.
