Description:
A variation on the moon jar form, this vessel reflects Papworth’s ongoing exploration of volume, surface, and restraint. Hand-thrown in stoneware and finished in a matte black glaze, the surface is interrupted by small inlaid chips of porcelain, creating a quiet contrast in tone and texture. The rounded body tapers subtly at the base and opens to a clean, wide rim, giving the piece a balanced and considered presence.
About the Artist:
Will Papworth is a ceramicist and photographer, currently working in East Sussex. Papworth received his First-Class BA in Fine Art at Kingston School of Art in 2019. His final year studies saw him sit for the first time at a potter’s wheel and he has been captivated by clay ever since. Following graduation, Papworth built himself a simple working studio in his garden, where he makes his ceramics. His work is entirely self-taught, and here he spends his time practising, researching and learning more about his craft. Most of the artist’s work is hand-thrown, creating stoneware, earthenware and porcelain ceramics encompassing both functional tableware and works of art.
