About my Pottery
Each piece of Emily Laszuk pottery is handmade and painted creating a unique artwork.Yet it is consistent and high quality, reliable enough to be built into a collection over years.
I throw each piece, working in runs to get a rythmn and flow going. These are then decorated to order to allow for that personal touch including names of people and places.(See the Personalised Design gallery). The decoration is brushed on the smooth white clay. It flows beautifully but allows for no mistakes.
The designs that I use are inspired by the farm that is my home. I closely observe the animals that share this place and distill their essence onto my pots.
My pots are thrown from porcelanious stoneware and once decorated are covered in a hard clear glaze and fired at high temperature (1280 degrees Celsius) This protects the Design ( commercial ceramics are low fired). These pots are comfortable being used in the oven, the microwave, the freezer and in the dishwasher.
Lately I have also been branching out into the ancient Arabic art of Reduced Paste Lustre, endlessly unpredicable and unreproducable. The magic of each peice is only revealed after three firings and scrubbing off the muddy paste of the lustre with steel wool! Even then it is best to live with each one for a while as they are never as you expect and will reveal their depths only once you let go of your expectations!
