The form feels balanced and organic, shaped as much by process as intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"735\" data-start=\"457\"\u003eIts surface carries thoughtfully stamped markings that introduce quiet texture and depth, allowing the fire to settle differently across the clay. Subtle tonal shifts move through soft greys and mineral hues into warmer, deeper browns, shaped by ash, flame, and time in the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"883\" data-start=\"737\"\u003eThe result is a contemplative, atmospheric vessel,  tactile and quietly complex, with a sense of natural rhythm embedded in both surface and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Artist \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNancy Fuller is Taiwanese by birth and raised in Scotland. After training as a printmaker, she discovered wood-fired ceramics when she returned to Taiwan in 2000 to study Chinese Mandarin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of Nancy's pots are fired in her anagama which she was able to design and build herself through the financial support of the Scottish Arts Council. The ancient forms of the Japanese tsubo and kame continue to inspire her, not only visually but also physically. The spatial awareness of the pots that comes through making, carrying and firing them gives them an almost human dimension. Coiling gives softer outlines, which change further during the firing process, helping her achieve the natural quality she's looking for. The clay is the starting point for all her work, and through her choice of raw materials combined with her firing technique, she has developed her own wood-fired aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__block product__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maudandmabel.com\/collections\/nancy-fuller\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead more about Nancy's practice and view her full collection.. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nancy Fuller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57102850130293,"sku":"NF262-3","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0233\/5583\/files\/7R1A1513.jpg?v=1777979583","url":"https:\/\/maudandmabel.com\/products\/nancy-fuller-coral-forest-vessel","provider":"Maud and Mabel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
