LIZ
TEALL Liz Teall studied
ceramics at Bournemouth before setting up her first workshop near
Banbury in 1970. Liz relishes the discipline of marrying beauty to function; everything is designed to be used and enjoyed. The pots are thrown by hand from a blend of red Etruria marl and Staffordshire fireclay, and decorated when “leather-hard”-(unfired, damp, but not squashy). Several layers of brushed-on slip are applied in different colours. (These slips are runny clays coloured with metal oxides).Hand-cut paper masks and stencils, sgraffito drawing, and even real leaves are employed to create images. Finished work is clear-glazed and fired to 1100ºC in an electric kiln. Liz has been
a naturalist all her life, with a particular interest in birds,
plants and insects. The vibrant energy of the natural world has
always been a source of inspiration.
