OLWYN KW CERAMICS
Working mainly in porcelain, I make both functional and decorative ceramic pieces. My inspiration comes from a variety of natural forms: exquisite flowers, to robust seed heads; lidded forms reference artichokes; open vessels are inspired by water lilies.
I enjoy the challenge of working with porcelain, it requires exact handling at each stage of production. It has great strength and yet May appear elegant and delicate. Most pots are thrown on the wheel, intricately carved, then sections are polished or glazed to create contrasting surface areas. Others may be hand-built and painted using underglaze colours and oxides. |
