Paul Westley, Potter

A larger piece with reacting glazes thrown using a white / grogged crank clay mixture. The grog in the clay is also reacting with the glazes and causing the dark spotted areas. This Sunday (1st Dec) I will be selling at the Bungay Christmas Street Market. I’ll be set up in St Mary’s Church between 10 and 4. The entire event is free admission.

These larger pieces were fired in the @anglianpotters wood kiln on a recent weekend firing. I have used a combination of orange and white shinos and a titanium slip for the random decoration. You will find these two vases and a selection of smaller pieces from the same firing at @fireandfluxceramics gallery in the @norwichlanes area of Norwich.

I've long wanted to combine my pottery with some wood turned additions. These storage jars have individually turned and polished lids – the lids were turned to fit each jar. The turning and polishing really brings out the grain in these oak lids. And no, I didn’t do the turning - Eddie Perkins did a fabulous job for me. ::

I have been developing some small platters — both plain and textured. The next stage will see how they handle being glazed and then the final firing. Some low March sun picks out the subtle textures.

Enjoying working with a textured red stoneware. It is going to be interesting to see the reaction this clay body will have on my subtle glazes.
