Fred
Bramham and Dorothy Gorst's stoneware pottery is in
continual evolution.
It is a process of refining shapes and basing a spectrum of glazes upon such unpredictable materials as local estuary muds and fish-smokers' wood ashes.
The kiln is reduction fired to 1360 degrees centigrade to achieve the unusual textures and flashes of iridescent colour, each individual piece having six or more glaze applications.
The results of each monthly firing are exhibited at Kersey Pottery's own gallery, occupying old stables near the centre of the ancient village of Kersey, Suffolk.
