Rebecca’s contemporary sculptural vases are decorated with layers of textural pattern. They are hand-built from slabs of clay that’s shaped around formers and moulds and gradually refined to create the elegant silhouette that characterises her work. Rebecca's inspiration comes from classical and modern sources, including the shape of Ancient Greek amphorae, William Morris wallpaper and digital imagery. She prints fragments of original designs and traditional motifs onto the ceramic surface by silk-screening underglaze ink onto a gel plate and transferring it onto the vessels in randomised sections. This monotype approach achieves a unique pattern on each piece.

Rebecca works from her home studio in London. Her love of clay began with a life sculpture evening class following which she started studying ceramics at Morley College. After a long career in IT marketing, she now enjoys the creative challenge of making ceramics.

Porcelain bangles, also decorated with underglaze using silk screens, but the technique I use to transfer the pattern is to print onto a plastic bag which I wrap around the bangles. If you wear two together they have a lovely ring when they touch each other. I've been wearing them for about a month now, and they only breakage I had was wearing them while gardening (not very practical!). When I took off my gardening gloves they got caught up with the gloves and fell onto the path and broke. Proved quite popular at the London Potters 40th Anniversary event last week. £20 each.

Porcelain earrings with silver posts. I didn't get these ready in time for London Potters, and just figured out an approach for the display card earlier today. I'd have thought £20 for the studs and £35 for the hoops? I'll include some in the package I send to Delamore.
