Inspiration for this piece was taken from the bright and colourful Double eyed fig parrot from Australia and I have placed him in the branches of a weeping fig tree.
Every unique design has been created by hand with love, care and attention to detail.
This piece has been thrown on the wheel, left to slightly dry and then goes through many different techniques using drawing, carving, clay slips and sgraffito to create the intricate designs onto the damp clay surface, this takes many hours and no two pieces will ever look the same.
Once completed the piece is left to dry and fired in an electric kiln during which I selectively glaze the main themes leaving the rest of the surface matt.
All of my wall hangings have a disc hanger attached to the back as well as four felt feet.
