JACQUELINE LEIGHTON BOYCE

Yellowhammers Amongst the Blackthorn Jug

$1,409.00

Hand built earthenware jug multi-layered with glaze, underglaze and slips. Images are drawn using Sgraffito (a scratching technique that reveals layers of underglaze beneath the surface glaze).

For this series, Jacqueline has taken her inspiration from the largest and most successful ReWilding conservation project in the UK at the Knepp Estate in Sussex. The estate has patiently allowed nature to reshape the 3,500 acre landscape which has repaired ecosystems and brought back species that were on the edge of extinction. 

Five of her pieces in this series are illustrated with some of the flora and fauna that are thriving at Knepp from the Nightingales to the Purple Emperor butterflies.

Dimensions: 11"H x 6.5"D (at widest point)

This artwork ships in 2 to 5 business days

About The Artist

ARTIST STATEMENT

It has always been important to me that viewers of my ceramics are left knowing without a doubt that my work is very definitely made from clay and I wish to demonstrate an overall rawness and immediacy.  In short, I like the clay to show itself.  

Technically I work as an earthenware ceramist firing to temperatures no higher than 1080 degrees and I most commonly use red terracotta.  The surfaces of my work are created by multi-layering and then drawing (by ‘Sgraffito’). I then fire each piece at least three times.  I create layers of colours and illustrations using slips, underglazes, glazes and finally lustres.  All my work is hand built and every piece I make is original.
