About MeThis porcelain small bowl has been hand-thrown and altered to form a soft sweeping spiral which creates a 'beak' in the bowl's rim.
It is glazed all over in a pale turquoise blue celadon, fading to almost white at the bowl's rim.
Sarah-Jane Selwood's work is influenced by her love for the dramatic Scottish landscape, particularly the mountains of the Highlands. She also seeks a simplicity of form, line and space in her ceramics.
