Since coming to Stoke, inevitably, much of my thinking has been about ceramics. I read Emma Bridgewater’s Toast & Marmalade which got me thinking about the perfect pairing of dishes to meals and ceramic pieces with the ability to transfer us to other places. All relevant to my wider concerns and interest in images.
This train of thought seemed to come to a head when I came across this egg shaped salt and pepper shaker I found at a charity shop. A neat, satisfying pairing.
I have since started learning how to make moulds for slip casting and have plans to make sculptures and tiles that also function as vessels of sorts, bringing much of my thinking together.
