Studio Pottery Vessel - Sunset Series Vase by Australian Artist Jan Twyerould

Studio Pottery Vessel, Sunset Series by Jan Twyerould 

The finely textured dry-glazed and individually handcrafted bud vase, vessel, is part of Jan Twyerould’s Sunset Series. The piece is thrown with porcelain clay, airbrushed with body stains and fired in an electric kiln to 1280oC.

Twyerould found inspiration for her forms by camping extensively in the Australian and New Zealand landscape and observing the landscapes silhouette against the colourful sunsets.
