Item details
The Kindred collection is a family of pieces in black stoneware clay. I like to reflect the inherent qualities of the clay itself, leaving it unglazed, and I form and decorate using the minimum of tools, so that the finished piece can reflect the material and the maker.
I use just my hands to shape each piece from a flattened sheet of clay, then apply slip (liquid clay) decorative designs with a natural sponge over torn newspaper stencils and resists. The motifs are influenced by textile designs and artwork from the early 20th century, while the forms have echoes of Cycladic and Minoan votive pottery.
While there are recurring shapes, motifs and colours in my work, each piece is entirely unique in its form and decoration. The work is fired to 1185 degrees Celsius in an electric kiln over a period of 12 hours. Pieces bear my maker’s mark of a swallow impressed into the base.

Full description
The pastel shades of Blake’s decorative motif will harmonise with most contemporary colour schemes in your rooms. I have used a combination of abstract rectangles, stripes and dots applied with a natural sponge and brush and these are fired into the piece. Blake is part of the Kindred Collection, a family of handmade black stoneware pieces, each one with its own distinctive shape, decoration and personality. Blake, at 16.5 cms tall, is a smart stand alone piece, or he looks good as part of a ‘family group’ of different sizes – one of the images shows Blake with some friends! The simple figurative form and abstract decoration can make a contemplative focal point for yoga/mindfulness meditation. On the base you’ll find my potter's mark of a swallow in flight.
