Mark Griffiths: Shop
Shropshire -based potter, Mark Griffiths’ stunning work includes bold, elegant forms: square bottles, ‘Pebble’ pots, teabowls and chawan; all which demonstrate Mark’s sublime brushwork and surface decoration.
“I use a mixture of ball clay, China clay and molicite which I buy in dry form and prepare in an ancient dough mixer. The clay is left to sour for several months and then put through the pugmill in preparation for throwing. After throwing and once dry, a selection of pots are coated in either a red slip which is collected from my local stream, or a white slip made from ball clay. I may use a coarse brush to cut through the slip prior to biscuit firing. My wood fired kiln is adapted to biscuit fire with bottled gas up to 1000 degrees. A variety of glazes are applied to the biscuited pots. Some are double dipped, with wax decoration applied before the second dip, while others may be decorated with oxide brushwork. I reduction fire the glazed pots in a 75 cubic foot kiln which is fired with wood to 1300 degrees…"
