Kurt draws inspiration from coral reef textures and uses glaze to highlight the fields of colour that are being lost to climate change. Kurt has also used pit firing to explore the potentials of using renewable sources to finish his Earth jars. Exploring with different techniques, Kurt has created a library of textures to push the limits of his porcelain forms.Focus:exploring techniques to create work that is more eco friendly and sustainable. I also focus on raising awareness of the bleaching events taking place on reefs around the world. CV:Download documentStockists:Bevere GalleryKurt has explored ways to create decorated ceramic work in a more sustainable way. His pit fired work uses sustainable organic materials to create depths of tone, texture, colour and detail. Each pit fire uses renewable organic materials to naturally colour the pieces. Kurt only uses locally sourced fell wood and driftwood in his firings. For his Glazed reef jars, Kurt utilises reclaimed clay from factory waste and materials from industry to reduce the impact and wastefulness of his ceramics.
