Is it Prêt-à-Porter or Prêt-à-Craft?

Bowl

The bowl is hand built using a variety of construction techniques that include slab building, coiling and press moulding. The forms are paddled and scraped when leather hard, to refine the final shape and finished surface. Layers of fine Porcelain slip are applied to the surface before painting patterns of coloured slip. Incised surface marks and drawn lines further enhance the finished piece. The work is fired in an electric kiln to 1250c and after hand polished with diamond pads and finished with wax polish.

It is inspired by the colours and patterns of botanical life which she explores through the dynamic interplay between form and pattern.
