Su Thompson creates faceted slab built stoneware vessels. Glazed with personally formulated recipes.

She muses around the technique of faceting, which is her current passion; an action of slicing through firm clay, peeling back the excess to reveal the newly chiseled surface.

Each pot can have a different combination of either throwing, hand building or carving. Bringing with them their own physical charm. These explore the juxtaposition of irregular hand carved shapes with a decisive cut or the centred qualities of thrown clay.

All of her work is glazed with personally formulated recipes which have been chosen for their specific qualities. Focusing on how they sit and move on the geography of the pot. Seeking muted colours and textures which are inspired by the natural landscape and the South Wales coastline. A coherent colour palette with a range of finishes, manoeuvring between matte, gloss and crystalline glaze effects.
