Drawing, painting and illustration employing a range of techniques and materials, in this case, brush drawing on bisqueware ceramics, overglazed and fired. Individually illustrated china mugs and other vessels, with portraits and sketches done on site. The bone china and stoneware bisque, handmade for me by a small family works in Stoke on Trent, offer the ideal surface for brush drawings using dark blue cobalt glaze. They are dipped in translucent overglaze and refired locally at high temperature, to produce a quality, functional, unique piece, a depiction of a moment, for quotidien use, durable into millennia.
