Techniques and Processes

Over the past years I have experimented with combinations of paper resist, colour infill
and slip trailing, first cutting and then tearing the paper to give a softer effect, | had felt
that the surfaces I had been creating had become static and the colour too. dense so have
been exploring the qualities inherent in my matenals. Pouring the slips thinly to bet the
colour of the body through, or in overlapping layers, rather like frothy layers of spume
rolling up the beach, The slip is also used very thick and applied whilst the pot is rotating
on the wheel to give a ‘wrapped’ Iook.

At present] am using paper to mask an area to decorate, which gives a greater flexibility
for variation and experimentation. Using the marks of abrush, highlighted with scraffite,
creates a greater sense of movernent and a fresh perspective. | am always on the look out
for new brushes or a way of applying slip — my two favourites al the Moment are a coarse
pastry brush and another made from dried grass collected from the beach on Anglesey,
North Wales.

Thave also begun to decorate with colounsd glazes. again both thinly and detail in thick,
rather like applying watercolour, moving from light to dark. Recent work has been based
on leaf motifs, very appropnate to the Derbyshire countryside where I live in England!
