Neski Ceramics
Vanessa Burley
From an early age, I have always been fascinated by dramatic textures and colour tones in nature, and this consistently comes through in my work. I use toasted stoneware clay and then add textures from natural objects such as rocks and shells, as well as from plastic items sadly washed ashore, evoking the sense of a once-beautiful pot lifted from the seabed after many years. Over several days, I encourage the clay body to split and crack using different heat treatments. The glaze layers then create crystalline surfaces, crawling effects, lava-like eruptions, and finishes with depth, light and an irresistible urge to touch.
