Slip & Tickle

AMILA RANASINGHE

I produce ‘short runs’ of  decorative functional ware; unique, useful, appealing products with a hand crafted feel.

The numerous colours and textures of clay , oxides, velvets, glazes & lustres;  various methods, techniques & tools for throwing, building and embellishing; all contribute to limitless opportunities for exploration.

I hope to capture some of the joy I experience, when working with fabulous versatile materials to create a smile when the finished piece is used.   I principally use stoneware clay resulting in robust pieces that can be enjoyed with confidence. 

Slip:
a suspension of clay in water.
Tickle: to touch lightly producing smiles and laughter.
