The moss series uses a clay slip stained with copper to coat the pots. The different thicknesses of the slip react with the glaze to create a spectrum of colours. Sometimes I cut through the slip - like a lino-cut - to make marks as well.

I love the organic nature of this process which leads to subtle gradations within and across pots.
