Shino & Ash Kyusu by Linda Unsworth

Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales

Approx: 500ml

A skilful wood fired stoneware Kyusu. An excellent pour and balanced weight and proportion. Glazed with areas of shino and natural ash, highlighting the natural beauty of the clay. Creating a painterly feel and appearance to the vessel that is totally unique and full of energy. Splashes of peachy orange shino and cool greys lay on top of the warming toasted tones of the clay. The surface is full of complex granite inclusions creating an interesting natural speckling, it has a soft shine and smooth feel making it comfortable to hold and an absolute joy to use.

One off piece. Handwash recommended.

Based in North Pembrokeshire, producing work from her home studio.
Linda is a self taught potter, who enjoys the meditative experience that’s created by working with such natural elements as raw clay, glazes and the rhythm of her momentum wheel. Producing beautiful wood fired ceramics that really highlight this long process leaving visible traces of flame flashes and fly ash on her pots. Her approach to the form and style of her work is inspired by her natural surroundings and informed by Eastern aesthetics through traditional Japanese & Korean pottery and philosophy and her love of tea drinking.
