The “Ulu”Cutting Edge Many years ago ,whilst The “Ulu”Cutting Edge 

Many years ago ,whilst in Northern Canada working within the Inuit Community, I came across a group of women scrapping stretched seal hides. The tool that they were using was called the Ulu. These precious tools had been handed down through many generations with their own history of hundreds of hours of scrapping hides. Some were made from walrus bone and had developed their own beautiful patina  having been worn down by the hand of their users . 

With all the ideas and visuals of scrimshaw carving and the stark contrast of the surrounding landscape I developed the Cutting Edge piece with its polished top clasped by a hand shaped base .
How a stand goes up! We are at #potfestinthepark How a stand goes up! 

We are at #potfestinthepark in the park , Cumbria from today until Sunday!

Some of my new work is inspired by Jomon pottery v Some of my new work is inspired by Jomon pottery vessels which are among the oldest in the world created in the Palaeolithic and Yayoi period( c14,500-300bce ) . Produced in Japan with their impressed decoration resembling rope - the origin of the word Jomon meaning rope. 
I have tried to put a contemporary touch to the pieces by digging my own clay and leaving all the impurities in. I coated this piece with copper and iron and then placed it in the river by my studio so it developed its own patina over several weeks .
