Jennifer Morris 'Small Bowl in Snowflake Glaze II'

Dimensions - H 2.5cm x D 10cm

Materials - Stoneware, snowflake glaze 

Methods - hand-built, reduction fired

Care - wipe gently with a cloth

Description

This small reduction-fired bowl has a low, gently flattened form, curving upward just slightly from a small, flat base. The proportions give it a light, playful balance.

Finished with a soft snowflake glaze, the surface is subtly crackled, creating delicate variation. In places, the clay body peeks through, adding warmth and depth beneath the glaze.

About the Artist 

Jennifer Morris is a ceramic artist based close to the Maud & Mabel Gallery in Hampstead, London. A pre-foundation course in 2008 introduced her to working with clay. Morris hand-builds objects that can be easily inserted into daily life and provide both joy and function. Using an understated and limited colour palette, which draws attention to the silhouettes of her creations, Morris experiments with different stoneware and earthenware clays. Her creative process is intuitive; visualising an image in her mind and then creating it in three-dimensional form - ‘I sketch in clay, making new ideas come to life’. For Morris, this allows her to find inspiration during the process, letting her works organically develop, retaining energy and movement in her pieces.
