Effie Gibson.
British Ceramicist
“CREATING FORMS INSPIRED BY WORN AND WEATHERED SURFACES, LICHENS, ROCK FORMATIONS AND THE DETAILS OF LIGHT SNOW BLOWN OVER GRAVEL.”
Effie explores mark making, colour and texture to form vases and pots of wintry landscapes. She uses rough and textured clays over which a variety of slips and/or underglazes are applied to the body of the pot. She uses a simple matt white glaze which is applied lightly so that the colours of the slips come through, Apart from creating shapes that can be both functional and beautiful, it is the interplay between the different clays, slips and white glaze that is her own focus of experimentation.
