Ceramics by Louise Pull
Ceramic Production
Although I am an accomplished mould maker, most of my pieces are now made using studio methods. My ceramic training covers :- Design principles, production of single and multi piece moulds, transfer decoration, press moulding, slip casting, hand building (including slab work and coiling), sculpting, glaze preparation, dip glazing, underglaze painting, kiln packing, and firing techniques (stoneware and earthenware).
Thoughts
One of the joys of ceramics for me is the amount of unexplored possibilities there are with this medium. I love experimenting with the clay, to see how many different designs I can make successfully. There are failures, and I see these as just as important as the successes, sometimes these pieces don't even make it to the kiln! What ever happens to the work I learn so much that will make the next piece even better. There has been many hours of work and frustration involved in some of these pieces, I won't give up until I produce my ideas. There's the challenge, and these are the results.
