Louise Bell

Each project explores a theme or question and each piece of work is unique and hand–built. Louise is always thinking about how she can develop an idea, hence the design process is long and involves a good deal of research and experimentation. She makes press-moulds and stamps for each piece to give the texture that she is looking for and adjusts glaze recipes to produce the finish that suits the piece. Each sculpture goes through approximately four firings. The last firing is the gold lustre and decal firing which is the finish for the porcelain and wire parts of the piece.
