Crafts CouncilDirectoryCaroline Cole CeramicsInspired by Prime NumbersAboutI have always been drawn to numbers and the patterns that are inherent in mathematical sequences. The fact that these are so often reflected in nature is mind-blowing. And yet, given that they can create such precision and rigour, numbers remain deeply mysterious. Prime numbers, for example, appear to have no rhyme nor reason. I find this randomness remarkable, and I have much enjoyed creating a variety of pots where the patterns and colours are dictated by prime number sequences.Caroline Cole CeramicsLondon, EnglandLarge Bowl: Spiralling Prime Numbers 2, Photo: Alex BraunThis is one of a pair of Large Bowls where the pattern is conceived through prime number sequences. On this bowl, the prime numbers are represented by the colour black. The more numbers there are between each prime number, the more colours appear: from brown and orange, through red to blue. This bowl is about 300mm in diameter.Two prime number pots from the Twist Collection, Photo: ccceramicsThe patterns on these two pots follow the same geometry and the same prime number colour sequencing - but are created in different colour ways. Each stands about 180mm tall.Three Totem Poles with prime number patterns, Photo: ccceramicsEach pattern on these three Totem Poles is very different, and yet, each is conceived through prime number sequence. These pots stand about 365mm tall.Large Bowl: Spiralling Prime Numbers 1, Photo: Alex BraunThis is one of a pair of Large Bowls where the pattern is conceived through prime number sequences. On this bowl, the prime numbers are represented by the colour black. The more numbers there are between each prime number, the more colours appear: from grey and blue, through red to yellow. This bowl is about 300mm in diameter.Inspired by Prime NumbersAboutI have always been drawn to numbers and the patterns that are inherent in mathematical sequences.
