Description:

This precious cup is by Annette Lindenberg, made from grey clay with toasted edges in deep green. The piece is based on watching rivers and streams flow and trickle, softening edges of rocks, gently swaying plants beneath the surface.

Handcrafted by Lindenberg, she skilfully uses her intuition to layer each individual form, alternating between subconscious and conscious design and material decisions. The rock like forms evolved through experimentation with mixing materials and utilising her carving capabilities. This piece is exquisitely tactile, with rough surfaces and a glazed interior and exterior. It holds very interesting organic forms and ridges across the body, emphasising Lindenberg’s unique making processes.
