Notes

Jim Malone’s work draws on Korean, early Chinese and Mediaeval English ceramics, extending the British tradition established by Bernard Leach. Based in Cumbria, he produces high-fired wheel thrown stoneware. Malone uses unrefined local materials, a momentum wheel based on an eight hundred year old Korean design, and an Oriental type of wood firing kiln. This bottle shows his use of hakeme; a technique where white slip is applied to a darker body with a coarse bristled brush.
