Combining the flow of water, the breaking of waves, and the texture of rocks, this organically shaped, medium sized plate brings the power and beauty of nature inside.

A bit more about this design:
The strength of earth and rock is represented by the simple, organically shaped form, with seeds used to imprint texture underneath. Red and black iron oxide wash on the second kiln firing completes this effect.
Flowing waters - layering multiple layers of blue and cream reactive glazes, creating depth and movement. Different application processes of glazes (like changing thickness and order of colours, dripping, dipping, pouring etc) enabled me to roughly plan the pattern of these waves. However... with up to 9 layers of different glazes interacting, the final result is still a surprise. Waiting for the final kiln opening feels like that long wait for Christmas, and has me grinning like a 5 year old when it is cold enough to unload any pieces!
Finally, a highly textured, white crawling glaze on the edge represents the crashing of the waves.
