Since graduating from the RCA in July 2019, I have had time to develop my processes and focus on future developments. One such thought centres on the feelings of responsibility and accountability that come with the use of ceramics within my practice. High fired clay is an enduring material created through extreme energy use and I would like to explore an alternative firing technique that makes use of the resources and materials available to me at home on my small holding “Snakeshole”. In parallel with the experimental Pit Firing will be an open discussion on Wild Fires, Land Management, Sustainability and Natures ability to endure and recover.
