Thames Matter - Sands

Thames Matter is a collection of miniature pots, created using materials collected along the River Thames. The purpose behind this collection is to allow you to hold a piece of the Thames in your hands, creating a connection to a location through touch. Each piece reflects the tones, textures and tactile qualities of the River Thames. Added details are individual, reflecting what I documented, learnt and found on my journeys Mudlarking the Thames. 

This Piece, titled Sands, is a fairly literal piece. The glaze is made up off the sands of the Thames. It is the sand itself which has create the shimmering, glistening effect, due to being rich in silica. The results remind me of the when the sun is golden and shining on the sandy areas of the Thames Foreshore. 

Each piece from this collection is between 30-70mm in height. Prices vary depending on size. Comes in a small eco friendly hemp sack.
