Patricia Shone

I work alone, between mountains and sea, an environment which inspires my work and my journey within the craft’s traditions. I aim for control of form and spontaneity in surface textures. I use stretching techniques from a solid mass which extenuate the surfaces allowing natural textures in the clay to develop. The colours of the work are achieved by various firing techniques. Whilst developing this way of making it suggested to me the erosion of landscape and the marks left by human habitation. More recently it seems to signify our human frailty in a world being destroyed by our presence.
