Wave Yunomi (2) by Joseph Ludkin


Hand Thrown & Hand Carved in Yorkshire


Approximate measuements: 
10cm height x 8cm width. 260ml.

The vessel has been created through a combination of wheel thrown and hand carved kurinuki processes. Crafted from a black stoneware clay and glazed in a a semi transparent glaze thats sits between a Buncheong style and Nuka style, plus a white slip glaze. On the surface, a beautiful blue grey tone sits beneath an embossed wave pattern accented by a smooth white slip. Finished with a carved angular foot and smooth lip, this larger, tall Yunomi is satisfying with a large capacity, holding comfortably in the hand.

Joseph Ludkin creates functional hand thrown stoneware vessels and ceramic pieces that seek to reflect the locality and history of his surroundings through the practical application and combination of locally dug clays and silts to form and ash from organic sources of wood, rock and minerals to mix into unique glazes. Joseph views this approach as a ‘folkloric study of the bond between people and place.’ His practice and exploration is led by the fundamental feeling of joy and connection it brings with the tactile processes and natural creative playfulness of making. 
Based in Rainton, North Yorkshire having set up and running the Croft Pottery where he produces his work and also tutors.

Each handmade and unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size and glaze will occur. Handwash recommended.
