Souvenir CollectionLowri Davies

10 November - 05 January 2008

A Ruthin Craft Centre Touring Exhibition

Lowri Davies' Welsh heritage is a major source of inspiration. Using both hand-built and slip-cast processes she makes jugs, cups and objects that are decorated with her own illustrations of flowers, domestic objects and Welsh stock imagery. The work stems from references of china displays on Welsh dressers and ceramic souvenirs.

Her hand-built technique is created using porcelain clay and is formed by pressing small samples of clay into an etched plaster surface and brought together on a plaster ‘hump'. She uses the term ‘patchwork' to describe this technique due to the way the pieces are assembled. She also adds simple transfers of her illustrations to these pieces. She uses a white earthenware slip for her slip-cast pieces, which acts as a surface for her illustrations that are applied using industrial transfers.
