“I MAKE POTS. POTS TO BE USED, POTS TO BE LOOKED AT AND MOST OF ALL POTS TO BE ENJOYED. MY OBJECTS HAVE A SUBTLE BEAUTY THAT ONLY CLAY CAN ALLOW TO HAPPEN.”
Tim makes a variety of forms, ranging from vases and lidded containers to drinking cups and pouring bowls. All work is stoneware and is thrown and turned on a slow turning kick wheel. He fires with gas, wood and soda. The soda is introduced over the last three hours of the 17-hour firing. It is added the firing as a paste on slabs of wood. The wood and soda give the subtle blushes of colour. It also affects the surface sheen of the pieces.
