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.
