Woodfired Shino Splash Low Shiboridashi by Linda Unsworth

Woodfired Shino Splash Low Shiboridashi by Linda Unsworth
Hand Thrown in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Approx measurements: 7cm H x13.5cm ø 150ml.

An elegant wood fired stoneware Shiboridashi with a low, wide and gently rising balanced form. The surface is partially glazed with shino but mostly left raw clay intentionally, to highlight the natural beauty of the clay. This creates a very painterly feel and appearance - that’s 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 and wood ash. The clay body is full of complex granite inclusions creating an interesting textures and natural speckling. Shino glazed interior. Soft shine, tactile feel making the piece a joy to handle and 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.
