Jack Welbourne Pasta Bowl, Half Glaze, Ash Stripe

A hand thrown, generously sized pasta or dinner bowl with an ash glaze to the interior, and a beautiful striped pattern, with the exterior left unglazed. This unglazed clay takes on a beautiful toasted colour during its gas firing. After training in Cardiff and Gothenburg, Sweden, Welbourne set up studio in Cardiff, where he produces wheel-thrown stoneware in red Cornish clay, gas-fired using glazes mixed in his studio (sometimes using materials dug locally, combined with potash, chalk, iron oxide and flint). Jack is inspired by the concave curvatures of neolithic Chinese and early Korean clayware. Measures very approximately 24cm diameter, by 5cm high.
