I’m continuing to explore my black textured clay and the challenge to work at a larger scale, progress is quite slow but rewarding.

Texture is so important in my work to compliment the form and create movement. I spend many hours carefully working the surface of my vessels creating marks that smoke and light will enhance. Mother Vessel, smoke-fired white textured clay. #smokefired #smokefiredceramics #handbuiltceramics #handbuilt #coilbuilt #coilbuiltceramics #studioceramics #clay #ceramicform #ceramicsculpture #scottishcraft #craft #contemporarycraft #ceramicsmagazine #pottersofinstagram #neolithic #ruthelizabethjones #matriarchy

‘Holding - Offering’ smoke-fired, white clay,

‘Holding - Offering’ smoke-fired, white clay, by pairing pieces or presenting them in groups the space around them becomes equally important and the relationship they have with each other becomes the focus. With this piece the larger vessel is holding or containing something while the open form is in an offering, open position. Sitting quietly together my aim is to express contrast and balance through this work.

The final stage of making for my Black Floating Ja

The final stage of making for my Black Floating Jars is a smoke firing, where wood shavings burn down slowly over night in a smoking bin creating unique surfaces emphasising the mark making in the clay, here you can see a finished vessel emerging from the ash, it’s always a moment of great anticipation 🌀and then some fantastic studio shots showing the texture.
