Making

“I may commence the making of a piece with a clear idea of the form and surface treatment beforehand, or create the form in isolation and simply see what develops. My pieces are usually thrown and then altered, or added to by the addition of small coils or further throwing".

Clay is red or white earthenware. Surface imagery is applied with coloured slips at the raw state, and the clay is carved into, much as one would draw on paper. After the first bisque firing, further drawing is made using oxides and coloured pigments before a final clear, transparent glaze is applied. Sometimes further low fire glazes are added and a third firing follows”.

Philosophy

"I work on the edge of the potter's craft and consider myself rather as a painter or illustrator of three-dimensional objects whereby the surface of the pot is my canvas. The shape and its surface decoration must be truly integrated

Michael Rice is an Irish Artist, Designer and Maker who specializes in ceramics and more recently glass.
