Culture & Context

The inside is slab built with marbled brown and white clay compressed onto textured mould. Whilst the exterior is made by staining coils of clay, and handbuilding on top of the slab. The surface is carved using a hand tool to reveal the details and colours beneath the surface. Unglazed to emphasise texture and natural unfinished look
