Process
The sides are thrown on the wheel and stretched to an oval shape while still soft. A rolled out slab is then attached to the rim and gently sponged multiple times until it begins to sag. It is then decorated with layers of different glazes and oxides. The accompanying stone is thrown on the wheel, altered and glazed.
Process
Nicola Tassie is a ceramicist whose work focuses on pushing the conceptual and material possibilities of domestic forms. While her work evokes a sense of familiarity within the viewer, her pieces, through construction and approach, elevate themselves beyond their humble function into the realm of sculpture. A founder member of Standpoint Studios, Nicola works from her space following the tradition of producing small batch domestic ware, which often form the basis of more abstract still life sets and installations.
