Vivien Ayres

I specialise in large platters and bowls that I use as small canvases, being painted as pictures.
I often make my own glaze pencils and crayons to mirror the effect of paint on canvas. I use a white earthenware clay that renders clarity and brightness to the glaze colours.
Each piece is individually crafted. Inspiration and colours are taken from nature – still life being the predominant theme. I hope to achieve ceramic work of visual decorative surprise and aesthetic satisfaction.
