Exhibited at: DJCAD Degree Show 2024 (Dundee), Branching Out (Dundee Botanic Garden), SSA Annual Exhibition (RSA, Edinburgh)
A half slip-cast and half hand-built porcelain pot, decorated with a traditional Chinese porcelain glaze and a rock from the Cairngorms.
Pot n.1 from The Forest of Pots. The rock was collected along Glen Clova, the first stop of my walk across the Cairngorms. The bottom of the pot was slip-cast and the top handbuilt in porcelain. By slip-casting the bottoms of my pots, I created a visual repetition. On the other hand, the handbuilding brings difference to the vessels. The glaze is following a recreation of a traditional Chinese porcelain glaze + wood ash. As for the material, I ground down some of the rock to powder, some to gravel and some of it was left.
