Crafts CouncilDirectoryLesley FarrellCeramic Lace VesselsAboutA series of double-walled ceramic vessel forms, hand-built using traditional coiling and pinch construction methods. The surfaces are applied using layers of vitreous slips, incorporating delicate patterns, which make aesthetic reference to the lace industry.
