Inspired by traditional Anglo-Saxon pottery that has been found in the UK, this vessel was made by Dameon Lynn using a technique of deconstruction. A series of symmetrical forms are thrown on the potter's wheel out of a stoneware clay mix which are then torn and flattened into slabs used to make a new form, involving a deep understanding of the limits of the material. This vessel was fired for five days in an anagama style wood kiln in Thailand. The glaze was applied to the overlapping textures to simulate the melting ice of winter in Catalonia and no glaze to the main body to reflect the warmth of Thailand’s summer.

This form was from a series of pieces by Dameon Lynn exploring and abstracting the human figure. It was made using a technique of deconstruction: a series of symmetrical forms are thrown on the potter's wheel which are then torn and flattened into slabs which are used to make a new form. This piece was made for a project in Thailand where it was fired for five days in an anagama style wood kiln. Glaze was applied to the overlapping textures to simulate melting ice in Catalonia in winter and no glaze to the main body emulates Thai warmth.

This Dameon Lynn set consists of a teapot and two cups. Each piece – made out of white stoneware clay and fired at 1260°C – was made and trimmed on the wheel including the handle of the teapot. To represent the set of parallel veins of tealeaves, he used a faceting technique where each line is individually worked onto the surface building up rhythm and texture. The glaze was developed to represent the drying process of clay when it changes colour.

According to Dameon Lynn, a flower vase should be timeless in design and strong in form. His vases tend to be inspired by traditional shapes found in ancient pottery cultures from around the world. This piece is made from a dark clay mix thrown on the potter’s wheel and fired at 1260°C. The decoration is a reference to parallel veins often found in tealeaves using a faceting technique where each line is individually worked onto the surface building up rhythm and texture. The glaze is a simple white satin glaze, which allows the natural colour of the clay and the textured decoration to break through.

This deconstructed vessel is a response to a medieval painting of the Virgin, which is on permanent display in the Frederic Mares Museum, in Montblanc, the location of Dameon Lynn’s first solo show after moving to Spain. A series of symmetrical forms are thrown on the potter's wheel, torn and flattened into slabs and used to make a new form through the technique of deconstruction. The surface has a stone like finish achieved by applying a dark glaze to the textures; layers of a porcelain-based slip are then built up on the surface giving depth. Once fired, the surface is then smoothed with silicone carbide paper resulting in very soft and tactile finish.
