A detailed study in clay, inspired by the heavy millstones crafted from ancient stone and etched by the milling of grain.

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

She applies multiple glazing's to the slabbed and heavily carved clay to amplify the volcanic aesthetic while the addition of copper, titanium and vanadium oxides under and over the glazing's, creates additional colour and focus within the sculpture.
