Tile Collection

Here is my tile collection. Most are inspired by William Morris and William De Morgan. They are painted and glazed onto earthenware bisque.

Giant Wave Plate

  I was commissioned to hand paint this seascape a few months ago. It was inspired by  the famous 'Giant Wave' painting by Katsushika Hokusai. It has been painted using Mayco colours and Duncan dipping glaze.It was then fired to over 1000c.

A Partridge In A Pear Tree

I made these cards using stiff black card ,Chinese watercolours , gold and white pens. Wrapped in pretty  ribbon instead of using an envelope.

Merry Christmas to all the women at the Chinese painting class.

Went up to Pendle Hill on Saturday with Trafford A walkers. Fantastic day, bit chilly!!! Had a good meal at the Pendle Inn , lovely.

Here's another Chinese landscape I did about a month ago during Gwens Chinese painting class.

A hazy landscape using chinese watercolour on rice paper. This has inspired me to paint the same scene onto bisqueware. Maybe a tile or vase, I,ll use mayco colour and Duncan dipping glaze. I will blog it when done.

This is a painting that was inspired by Andie Li. I painted this using mayco paints and Duncan glazes onto bisque earthenware. Fired to over 1000c .

This is part of a painting I did during a chinese painting class. It is chinese water colour paint applied to silk, layer upon layer, creating shadows and giving depth. The finished piece was then reversed, pasted onto chinese art paper and pasted onto a window and left to dry. It was lovely to paint.

All the African inspired ceramics are made using traditional coiling methods. The tactile surface was applied during its leather hard state.
