Matheson, Andrew

The wheel is central to my method of making and all work is Reduction fired to 1280’c with glazes based on classic recipes.
I generally work with either a stoneware or porcelain body. The bowls though similar in form, each one is unique depending upon how the glaze is applied to the form or the way that two glazes react when overlapping…
Mattos, Marcio
(view Gallery).
Hand built vessel oriented stoneware and paperclay pieces, reduction fired.
Being a musician as well as a potter, I bring into my ceramic work the same creative process which lies behind improvisation in music: the spontaneity and intuitive “free-ness” of the moment of creation.
I like to leave impressed in clay the immediacy of this process, both in texture and in form. The…

Moss, Eric
(view Gallery).
I work in raku as I like the way the finished pots reflect their ‘elemental’ journey from mud to ceramic: I think this particular process imparts a ‘sense of life’ within a piece.
The transparent crackle glaze I use dresses tightly-controlled, thrown, sculpted forms in a complementary random and natural effect punctuated by paper and glue resisted areas…
