Sculpture / Non Functional

Earthenware Sea Globes are fired many times to create complex glazing designs that have been abstractly inspired by the coastline where I live and work.

This globe has a combination of grey glazes that meet a horizon of dark aventurine and black glazes fused together and inspired by the rock formations here on the Pembrokeshire Coast. During the final firing platinum detailing has been applied to the circumference and rim of the globe.

I complete very few Earthenware Sea Globes due to the success rate being low caused by the multiple firings and complex glazing designs. Each piece is unique and designed purely as a sculptural “objet d’art” / fine art ceramic sculpture and is not functional (i.e. should not be used as a vase).
