Nason, Lesley

Using porcelain clay I create contemporary atmospheric wall pieces and vessels inspired by trees, fields and countryside surrounding my home in Derbyshire. My initial sketches are transferred onto the soft clay with texture, following a bisque firing resists, oxides and crackle glazes are applied to add detail, shading and contrast to the piece. I also produce a range of stylish jewellery, all formed by hand then encased in jewel coloured glazes and combined with silver, copper and glass.
