Process
This ceramic piece is thrown on the wheel and small holes are added towards the top when hard. Once fired, the piece is left unglazed. A length of copper wire, oxidised and shaped to complement the shape of the vessel, is then attached.
Process
Ceramic artist Elaine Bolt’s work is guided by a sense of narrative and steeped in the context of the local surroundings. An alumni of the Crafts Council’s Hothouse scheme, Elaine works with local clay and mixed-media to create pieces which aim to blur the boundaries between the made and the found. Elaine teaches and lectures in ceramics at various institutions, including her Brighton-based studio, and her work is often informed by the colours and tones found in the landscape of the South Downs.
