GILLIAN PARKE~

Love these contrasts...smooth, delicate and feminine to rough and barbaric.  I like the contrast between hand drawn and saccharine decals of the mid 20th century (wow, that sounds weird!)  The pieces look as though they have been broken and reassembled as the much of the delineation is so precise.  Her work is like having a buffet...so much to look at and choose from!

Gillian is a very accomplished artist with work in galleries all over the country.  She works in porcelain and her work is influenced by fine porcelain (hence the decals and lusters) and Shigaraki-ware.  where bits of feldspathic material are added to the clay. 
  
All the details and more fantastic pots are there for you to read on her website: www.gillianparke.com

    I love everything about clay.  I like making, teaching, looking at, owning and using pots.  This blog is a continuation of my Facebook posts that have been going on since the day after the disappointing 2016 election.  I [we] needed to have something good to see and think about.

    Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
