CLOBBERED POTS AND OTHER THINGS






There are many definitions of clobbering ranging from hitting someone hard to overwriting the contents of a computer file. However in the ceramic context my understanding is that 'clobbering' means to decorate another's work with overglaze.  The first image depicted here is of 2 clobbered vases - these white vases are from Ceramic Matters and I have added my mark to them.

There are currently all kinds of activities going on in my studio, a lot of work is in progress. So I decided to photograph some of the pieces lying around waiting to be further worked on. Images here depict plates that are decorated and need to be glazed, plates that have been glazed and need to be fired, slab built dishes which have been freshly made and are drying and small decorated cups awaiting glaze. A lot happening simultaneously, images of the finished work will be posted when they come out of the kiln....finally...and assuming they all survive the element of fire!

MORE DESIGN THAN FOOD AND WINE

Furniture by Vogel


Table - Collaboration by Willem Boshoff and James Mudge


Sculptural felt by Ronel Jordaan

Quirky objets by Gerhardt and Anthony of Ceramic Matters

There was a wonderful article in this past Sunday Times on Ceramic Matters, highlighting their work and mentioning their stand at the Food Wine and Design Fair.
All the images above show some of the excellent design that was on show. It was truly a fabulous fair with a great vibe...

CERAMIC MATTERS


My friends Gerhardt Swart and Anthony Harris of Ceramic Matters (based in Johannesburg, South Africa) are masters of design and innovation. Check out their blog for images of extraordinary architectural installations and excerpts about daily life in a very busy studio.
