Flint Black Vessel III (Medium)
Elaine Bolt
£110
Flint Black Vessel III (Small) by Elaine Bolt is a wheel-thrown porcelain vessel with a hand cut, locally grown willow stem added to the top as a decorative feature.
Flint Black Vessel III (Medium) by Elaine Bolt was inspired by the colours and tones of the Sussex landscape, where the flint and chalk fields provide a distinctive backdrop. The locally sourced clay and willow further connect the work to the local landscape creating a tangible connection between the object and the source of its inspiration.

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.
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.
