Morgen Hall hand makes decorative
tableware which is intended for everyday use.
The work has fine detail and finish on strong, bold forms. A high
firing, smooth red earthenware is used, both for its rich cinnamon
colouring and for its remarkable durability in use. Decoration with
blue slip allows for crisp edged paper resist pattern work, as well
as raised surface slip trailed detail under the creamy white tin
glaze. Before the glaze firing a rutile based mustard coloured glaze
stain is applied.
Cinnamon, oranges, cream and mustard are used to describe the
colouring of the work. Food connections are essential. Most of the
pieces are specifically designed and inspired by the food for which
they are intended. |
