VESSEL COLLECTION BY LUCY MCMILLAN

PLEASE ENQUIRE

Description

We proudly represent Studio Lucy McMillan. New Zealand artist and potter.

Along with her bespoke tile offering, we stock a collection of her unique vessels.

Cups, steins, plates, platters and sculptural forms.

We welcome you to our Parnell Showroom to view her distinctive collection or enquire for more information.

Hand built from a clay slab that has been layered, hand rolled and inlayed. Each vessel is unique, showing the artist hand and unrepeatable. Using locally sourced stoneware blends, hand stained pigments and finally fired to vitrification at cone 6 (1220 degrees), making them strong and durable, they are destined to one day be dug up in the ruins.

New Zealand Artist and potter Lucy McMillan is inspired by agateware, an 17th century pottery process. It’s name refers to the marbleised and striated patterns of the semi-precious stones that it was emulating.

WORDS FROM THE ARTIST

Clay has a beautiful elegance, the way it changes state from humble mud to a solid object in a firing.

I’ve been working through painterly ideas in my ceramics, and in particular, I like the edges, the corners, and the multi faceted forms I’m able to make with clay.

I like thinking about clay as a culture that holds a past. How each loose grain and mineral has filtered through time. Transforming clay dug up from the ground feels a bit like alchemy. Like magic. It connects me to history.
