Large Tree Vase 'Cresente Abore' - Vases & Vessels

Featured In Waterperry Gardens, Waterperry, United Kingdom

Price from $450 to $480

Creation: 3-4 weeks

My large tree vase ‘Crescente Abore’ (meaning growing tree in latin), is inspired by my love of nature and how I enjoy manipulating clay with a specific intention. Plants and trees in nature have intention, this is how they grow towards the light. Clay is made of plant debris and minerals from the earth’s crust and the clay particles are bound by energy (as with everything in the cosmos). I believe, that when we hold intention in our mind when we create, it has a direct influence on the form we are producing. Science is now discovering that the power of thought (intention) has an influence on so much in our lives. The intention project studies this and also describes how trees are in fact affected by thought.

During the making of this large vase ‘Crescente Abore’, I hold an intention of growth and energetic expanse while forming the clay. I ‘listen’ to the clay as I work, moulding and manipilalting it.

Learn more about the inspiration and philosophy behind my ‘Signature Collection’ of vases in the short video below:

Making Process
Firstly I hoild a clear intention of growth and expanse before I start throwing the clay on the Potter’s Wheel. I ‘listen’, responding to how they clay ‘wants’ to evolve, as I add layers of contrasting stoneware clays and porcelain. Eventually this manifests in a beautiful ‘explosion’ of porecelain at the rim, depicting organic growth and expanse; much like the growing canopy of a tree. Like the other vases in the collection, I scratch branches and plant patterns into the surface before it’s first firing. Then I use copper oxide to enhance certain areas before covering the whole vase in a shiny glaze. This creates a rich textured relief and surface on the vase.

Product Details
Dimensions: Base:12cm x Height:41cm x Rim:35cm. If you would like to experience Crescente Abore ‘Up Close & Personal’ please watch the video footage under the ‘video tab’ at the top of this product description section. Also, if you require additional information or images please do contact me. I am very happy to help you make a fully informed decision about this special piece of ceramics.

Care
‘Crescente Abore’ has been tested as water-tight up to half of it’s height, so it is suitable for fresh flowers. If you need to clean the vase, please rinse it out with soapy water – being careful not to damage the delicate rim.

Ceramics Inspired By Nature

Hi, Welcome to 'Ceramics Inspired By Nature' I make unique ceramics using the impression from real leaves. Each piece is individually handmade with love and healing intention. I make leaf tableware, wall art, vases and porcelain leaf jewellery and also accept commissions of any kind. You can even send me your own leaves and I will create something very special for you.

I first qualified in a Ba (Hons) ceramics from Bristol Bowerashton in 1995 under the guidance of Mo Jupp, Walter Keeler and Nick Homoky. This was a rich and immersive learning experience with three renowned potters as my tutors. In later years, I taught ceramics part-time at Clifton High School, running clay clubs for the junior and senior pupils. Although this was a rewarding experience, I decided to leave teaching to then focus my attention on becoming a professional ceramic artist in 2013 and blend my love of ceramics with the healing arts and nature.

Today, I sell my ceramics at local and national shows such as 'Celebrating Ceramics', Craft in Focus and also local art trails in Bristol and North Somerset. I also sell my work at select galleries in the South West such as the A2 Gallery in Wells and on select online platforms such as www.jewelstreet.com.

My ceramics has been aired on national TV in the UK on the 'Great British Menu' and used by Executive Head Chef Niall Keating for his 'chocolate frogs dessert' in 2020. My creative process using clay and leaves, has also been shown on ITV on the 'Love Your Weekend' show hosted by Alan Titchmarsh.
