Claire Ireland

CI425Y85 Maritimus

This hand-built sculptural assemblage is press moulded using a mixed clay body. It is made from a cast of a Hebridean float, decorated with a dry glaze and oxide, combined with a black stoneware vessel, and a meandering steel fragment.

The piece consists of separate elements to be installed in place. The vessel is fixed to the base. The steel wire – a found object from the forge at the steam museum where her studio is based – is loose and slots into the neck.

About this maker

Collecting and arranging manmade and natural forms provides Claire with great enjoyment and creative impulse for her making.  Crucial to her creative process is her discipline of drawing and keeping a continuous sketchbook of ideas and studies. Sculptural forms have emerged through extensive research and exploration of alternative hand-building techniques. Smoky and painterly surfaces envelop her ceramic forms and are integral to the whole.
