Butterfield Pottery

Potter and painter, work together producing handmade Pottery. The quintessential thing about our work is the atmospheric effects of Iron in oxygen reduction at high temperature. Many layers of oxides, give the brushwork a painterly depth as oxides melt into the glaze on the very edge of melting down. Botanical imagery is painted in a gestural manner likened to impressionism, so that the feeling of light and color and movement comes alive on the surface.
