This trio of round nested hand thrown porcelain bowls are elliptical in profile and glazed with raw materials. These materials include bamboo ash harvested directly from Helen Green’s studio garden, to create a white interior and a white cream and glistening brown exterior with drips and veil-like overlaps. With an off-centre, circular opening, these forms are nonetheless full, elegant, and agreeable to hold, inviting one to caress the smooth mineral surface.

This tall stoneware pot has three feet and body-like curves. It is hand coiled and burnished without sigillata. The colours come from the smoke of burning wood, copper and seaweed during a 12-hour firing, and are fixed in the pores which close on cooling. The resulting surface is white with bold yet delicate trails of rich carbon-reduced black, smoky bluish-greys, scattered peach flushes, bright-green specks and a striking orange stripe down the back.

These three, surreal sky-blue and white porcelain objects, resemble small dancing creatures, with five legs each and a full anatomical heart shaped receptacle for a body. The assembled elements are cast from moulds of original sculptures. A close inspection reveals hands instead of feet and if turned upside down the objects become hearts with arms reaching out. This double feature represents the mercurial nature of the heart.

These four small hand thrown porcelain tumblers accompany a fine, very full-bodied, hand thrown porcelain bud-vase shaped bottle. They are glazed with raw materials, including bamboo ash harvested directly from Helen Green’s studio garden, to create a sleek satin white interior and white, cream and warm brown exterior with drips and veil-like overlaps. They are textured with the glistening smooth and mineral glaze, inviting one to caress the surface.

This narrow-necked stoneware pot has three feet, with shapely curves and a gentle sway. It is hand coiled with impressed decorative markings and burnished to a satin finish. The colours come from wood, copper and seaweed during a 12-hour pit-firing and are fixed in the pores which close when cooling. The resulting surface is white with bold yet delicate trails of rich carbon-reduced black, smoky bluish-greys and scattered red flushes.
