IONA CERAMICS, ESTUARY mug 3
Having trained at the Thomastown Pottery Skills Course in Ireland, Iona returned to Yorkshire to set up her studio. She has recently been recognised as a ‘Rising Star’ by Homo Faber, an international organisation promoting and supporting fine crafts and crafts skills.
Most of her work is thrown on a potters wheel from stoneware clay or porcelain. Iona makes her own glazes and does her own glaze research. The new ‘Estuary’ pieces are wheel thrown stoneware with thick porcelain slip and rust inclusions. Gas fired to 1280 degrees with combinations of shino and celadon glazes, they are inspired by the ever changing aerial appearance of estuaries and the movement of water.
H9.5cm, diametre 9.5cm approximately
