Some recent works completed in the last few weeks. I have really enjoyed experimenting with Kurinuki techniques, having viewed John Britt's excellent video and coming across the work of Lucien Koonce and Kaneta Masanao online. Both produce the most beautiful works that are created by shaping the outside of a block of clay, before then hollowing out the slightly dried block.

My most recent piece is another large coil pot, my biggest so far. It is made from a Doble's stoneware clay rich in iron, giving it the reddish colouring. Though pleased with the outcome, I need now to give some serious consideration to developing my own style through the application of decorative slips, oxides and glazes.
