Sit’s nicely in the palm this one. Love the markings produced by smoke permeating the layers of clay resist.

Snails rocking out
A family of ceramic snails rocking out across the studio floor.

These garden sculptures were exhibited at the amazing Sculpture at Kingham Lodge 1-9 May 2021.
Taking time to appreciate the subtle effects of layering and wiping away slip decoration….
At the moment, these snail sculptures are at the leather hard stage (my favorite!) and still have to dry for a couple of weeks before going in the kiln.
Once they’ve been fired, the snails are to be exhibited at several garden sculpture exhibitions later this year.
As with a lot of my work, these pieces have an interactive element. Visitors will be able to gently rock the snails back and forth to create rhythmic sounds.
