Paul Sandameer
is a potter and ceramics technician at the Faculty of Art, Media and Design.
"I endeavour
to evoke qualities of playfulness in my work...Qualities such as joy,
ambiguity, beauty and fun are factors I strive to achieve in an attempt
to recreate the child's delight in their world. The
effects that I achieve in my work though appearing complex are in fact
very simple. A piece of material is dipped into a liquid form of clay
called slip; any clay body will be successful. The clay penetrates the
fabric and produces an exact copy once the original material is burnt
off in the firing. From that point on the artefact is treated as any other
clay object, though probably with a little more care as the artefact can
be very brittle until the final temperature or glaze firing is completed."
The pots illustrated
below are made from slip-dipped cloth, fired to earthenware temperatures.
