With these jugs I continue to express an adoration for the forms, colours and very existence of trees which are anchored in earth, reach for the heavens and breathe for all of us.
Using up remaining clay reserves I am currently mixing 30 yr old Barry Brickell clay with terracotta. The task reminds me that different clays have particular demands. Barry's chunky clay will stand no fuss in the shaping of a jug.
