Process
This vessel is thrown on the wheel, before being pulled out using coiling techniques. The surface has been carved out to create subtle marks. It is decorated with a matt white glaze on the inside and a satin white glaze on the outside, which is unevenly applied in order to give the piece a sense of movement.



Process

London-based ceramicist Abigail Schama studied Fine Art at Camberwell and Bristol, before taking an MA in Art Theory at Chelsea. Abigail pursued ceramics following a career in painting, drawn to the tactile and functional nature of the craft, and learnt the trade under the tutelage of Loewe Craft Prize nominee Akiko Hirai. Her recent work for The New Craftsmen is inspired by Greek mythology, paying homage to tradition while adhering to a more contemporary aesthetic.
