Recent Large Square Dishes: National Crafts Awards Winner at the RDS

As well as the large Jun bowls below, I’ve been making some very large square dishes, over 14″ x 14″ (about as big as will fit on a kiln shelf) with a mixture of sgraffitto through slip, and wax resist over biscuit-fired underglaze.

 

This is the dish that won the ceramics prize at the RDS National Crafts Awards in July 2015
