Description: | Thin walls make this pot extremely light. When handling, its delicacy is very apparent. This relates to the inspiration behind these pots, described by Elspeth Owen as originating in 'my memories of holding and being held'. The surface pattern is produced during a particular type of second firing known as smoke firing. Placed in a kiln, smoke and fumes from lit packing material burn permanently into the clay surface. The pattern produced depends on the way in which the sawdust is packed against the pot. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft makers ceramics contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
