Jan Nethercot continues to ‘play with clay’ after completing, at a turning point in her life, an HNC in Ceramics. She is inspired by the rotting, but still stately, tree trunks in Savernake Forest. Her sculpted pieces are robust and frost proof making them suitable for garden or indoor display.
As well as her Garden Art, she has been experimenting with coloured clay, producing her Marbled Ware.
Process: Clay Fired Bisque on low temperature.
Using five Oxides painted onto the pod in the second firing produces this wonderful organic Stoneware.
