I enjoy using red earthenware and my work references folk pottery traditions around the world.

The six cornered frame was inspired by one I saw in Seville. The Open Hand cutter was bought in the U.S. from Winston Salem were they have preserved an old Moravian settlement. The glazed impressed patterns are made using wood blocks from India. With an open heart and a loving hand. £120

Chinese Folk stencils.
Some of the Chinese paper cuts I have used as stencils are quite rare and no longer available. The tile created below is a good example of a 'thin line' piece. Removing the paper cut is done meticulously with dentist tools. It can take hours! They were traditionally made by rural woman but as China develops the practice is either being mechanised or 'artists' now make the souvenirs offered to tourists.
