As the clay dried, it pulled away from the surface, breaking apart and creating fragmented, irregular forms. I was drawn to the contrast between the solid, weathered rocks and the delicate cracks and fragments within the dried clay, which informed the form and surface of the vessel.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe main form and added details are made from a 1:3 blend of London clay, sourced from the Thames, and a black stoneware clay. The textures have been created using pure Thames slip and an ash glaze made from materials gathered along the Thames Foreshore. A central area of detail has been created by applying a sponge-like material found along the foreshore, which was then coated with glaze. The material burns away in the kiln, while the texture recorded by the glaze remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e19 x 55 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53974401384795,"sku":"TM50","price":2280.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/9387\/1451\/files\/TM-FRAGMENTS1.2.jpg?v=1788564918","url":"https:\/\/nevebeillceramics.com\/products\/thames-matter-fragments-1-2","provider":"Neve Beill Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
