Rachel Petch - Pottery
A fascination with turning mud to pot through fire captivated me as a youngster.
I explored building wood fired raku kilns at home on the farm with help from my brother Dinsdale.
I was fortunate to work with Albert Linacre in Pilton where I learned the discipline of a working pottery producing 100s of essential oil vaporisers & tableware.
Life events took over for some considerable time, now I have space & time to enjoy working with clay again. I love making practical aesthetically pleasing objects drawing inspiration from nature & history for decoration.
My practice started using white earthenware body & cobalt oxide stamped motifs, Earthenware makes a relatively porous pot, prone to crazing, not so practical for a modern kitchen. This year I have been working with a stoneware body to produce dishwasher safe pots.
