Dimensions: 230 W x 115 H
Materials: Stoneware
Hand built from a clay slab that has been layered, hand rolled and inlayed. Each vessel is unique, showing the artist hand and unrepeatable. Using locally sourced stoneware blends, hand stained pigments and finally fired to vitrification at cone 6 (1220 degrees), making them strong and durable, they are destined to one day be dug up in the ruins.A Practice Rooted in History and Alchemy
Artist and potter Lucy McMillan draws inspiration from agateware, a 17th-century technique known for its striated, marble-like patterns. Her work is defined by form, texture, and negative space, often evoking imagined histories and aged beauty.
For Lucy, working with clay is an act of connection—a conversation with the past through materials that carry memory.
PLEASE NOTE: Not watertight, may leech water. If using as vase avoid leaving on timber or porous surfaces.
