MIMS ELLIS: STATEMENT

I employ the hard and soft slab method of hand building when creating my pieces.
This allows me to fashion the clay in a more organic way. The textures in my pieces are from my handmade stamps.
For me, the glazing process is the most magical step of working with clay.
I often layer 2 or 3 different glazes on top of each other to achieve swirling movement of colors.
Each piece has its own unique personality and it is an incredible privilege for my work to be used in people’s everyday lives.
