new octopus bowl


I have tried to make a new octopus bowl several times. For many reasons, all attempts have failed. But they have also been learning experiences. Finally, I have had a success. And once again, the sculptural aspects are one thing of beauty, the colour of the many glaze layers, lifts it to an entirely new dimension.

Gordon the sea slug



I LOVE this slug. Who doesn't love a giant slug?


What do I love about him?


He's porceline, as usual.


He's also a beautiful colour. But I say that about all of my ceramic works.


He is versatile, too. one way he's a sculpture. Upside-down he's a funky sushi dish.


And he's 40cm long!
