ABOUT EMILY

I am an emerging ceramic artist based in Canberra, Australia. I make high fired porcelain and stoneware pots, with a focus on functional wood fired pieces. My dream is to live with hand crafted objects that connect us to each other. Each of my pieces is an attempt to bring that dream to life.

EMILY’S PROCESS

Bringing together earth, water and fire

I generally start by wheel throwing porcelain or stoneware clay. Many of my pieces are then hand carved or stamped. This creates dynamic surfaces for glazes and flame to play with.

I glaze my works with slips and glazes made by master potter Ian Jones. Some pieces are left unglazed, to allow a natural patina or wood ash glaze to develop during firing.

Whenever possible, I help to wood-fire my pots in one of the kilns at Old Saint Lukes Studio in Gundaroo. This takes between a day and over a week. Other kilns include Ian Jones’ new biodiesel (waste cooking oil) kiln.

The @xiem_clay_center carving tool is on the softer side and I’m starting to find the love for it I had been mourning the loss of a diamond core tool, and was using this one as a replacement but not really appreciating what it was doing. Now I

Well I didn’t expect that… I finished this little series for the evening, stood back and felt extremely uncomfortable. Something about these little pots gives me some super weird vibes. I haven’t decided on the surface yet, let&rs
