It’s soooooo gorgeous! The mace stand is almost complete. It represents the coal and steel industry in Stoke-On-Trent. These industries are the reason the ceramic industry and ‘The Potteries’ even existed. #woodwork #metalwork #yakisugi #rebar #stoke #rust #sculpture #art

Working on the stand for our ceremonial mace today. Laser etching the River Trent as it runs through Stoke-On-Trent ready for the steel river. Then blackening the wood to represent the coal industry as the foundation of the city. It’s finally coming together! #art #woodwork #laser #yakisugi

Sometimes things just don’t quite work how you’d imagined. So let’s slap some more glaze on and stick it back in! #secondtimesthecharm #pottery #ceramics #glaze #clay #pottersofinstagram

So, terracotta is NOT my favourite thing to throw. I did however try to have some fun with the multiple collapses, and came across this fun little technique that saved a previously large yet crumpled form. #experiment #fun #art #pottery #wheel #ceramics #clay #terracotta

Processing some historical shards ready for a secret project…🤫 Not sure why it’s captured strobe lighting in the workshop. But photosensitive viewers beware! #ceramics #pottery #clay #shards #history

An inherited china rose that has never done well in any of the 6 different garden locations we have put her in. But… maybe this time? #rose #gardens #gardening #flowers

A closer look at the family of pots I’ve been working on. Some fettling remains before deciding on a glaze route. #ceramics #pots #pottery #art #vessels #stoneware Music: Early Hours Musician: @iksonmusic
