Sculpted from a single, locally sourced Welsh oak burr, and mounted on an oak burr stand, the T is ebonised Welsh oak. 

Inspired by the geology of the North Wales coastline, the unusual colours within this piece echo the tones of a rockface bleached by the elements over time - the coastal story continued through the coral like structure of the piece. 

The clay is hand built and gouged before being glazed multiple times. Between glazing's titanium oxide is brushed onto the surface to give the soft yellow and greys of this beautiful and unusual piece.

The intense greens within the surface texture amplify the multiple carvings of this unusual sculpture -one of a series of waved forms within this collection. 

  Inspired by the coastal rock formations near her home in North Wales, the piece bears the hallmarks of a Wendy Lawrence sculpture where the surface treatment becomes part of the form itself. 

The blisters and bubbles within the clay create a barnacled effect while the two tone colouring complements the simplicity of form. 

The gnarled effect and deceptive simplicity of this free standing piece captures the essence of the ancient forest, the wave form connecting us with something raw and fundamental.                                    

The blistered surface is coloured with copper oxide to exaggerate the carving and gouging, creating a piece that is at once contemporary and ancient.

The second in a series of ‘waved’ sculptures, this piece is                                                   evocative of the rock formations and geological phenomenon found on the North Wales coast.

The signature blisters and bubbles are created during firing by the addition of silicon carbide to the glaze, enhancing the natural look and texture of the sculpture. 

The works are high fired and are suitable for any interior or exterior spaces.
