Porcelain - what materials do you use?
I use high quality materials to ensure artwork stands the test of time; Audrey Blackman Porcelain and Onyx Black Porcelain, Contem Body and Glaze Stains and occasionally Celadon Green Glaze.
All porcelain is fired at 1250°C.

What is your process?
Everything is made by hand.
Worked as fine as possible, porcelain is press moulded onto an origami surface to create texture, crisp edges, surface movement, light and shadow.
Any colour is added at the beginning and worked into the raw porcelain so it is integral to the final piece.

Frames - Are your porcelain wallart pieces framed?
My work is presented on purpose made frames designed by me to perfectly present the porcelain. Work is edged with oak. If the piece doesn't have oak around it then it is my framing presented in a quality Jackson's frame.
Fixings are screwed into the back so the works are ready to hang. Larger pieces can come with z-hangers to ensure a close, smooth fit to the wall.
All wood is FSC certified.

3D Porcelain Sculpture - does it come on a plinth?
All porcelain sculpture is presented on custom-made bases from a range of woods: European, African and South American. The base is felted to protect surfaces.

Porcelain - how do you clean it?
Like all ceramics, the porcelain surface is robust. Just dust down with a feather duster or small brush.
