Steven James Will

Smoked Fired Porcelain Shells

£49
Style:
Quantity:

Steven has cast locally found oyster, scallop and mussel shells to create porcelain forms which he has smoke fired, natural raku, giving each one an individual moody patina and matt finish. In contrast, the inside of some have been embellished with a glorious gold or copper leaf for a striking contrast.

Steven James Will lives and works amongst the expansive wildness of the Suffolk Coast. The constant change of the south Suffolk estuaries, their salt marshes, dead-end roads, forests and heaths inspire and contribute to Steven’s colour palette as he includes natural materials (mud, clay, coralline crag and wood ash) to decorate his thrown and cast porcelain.

Because of the smoke firing process elected, each shell displays a one-of-a-kind mottled texture of varying degrees, embracing the natural individuality of shells.

The shells are decorative and not food safe. The gold and copper leaf is sealed with natural shellac to inhibit the material tarnishing.
