Hummingbirds and orchid ceramic wall art

£1,500.00

This piece of ceramic art showing seven Ruby throated hummingbirds has been thrown on the wheel using a white fine stoneware and decorated by hand using clay slip colours and the technique of sgraffito. Each piece takes many hours of meticulous work to complete. Only the Hummingbirds have been glazed using a clear brush on glaze leaving the rest of the surface matt. I have continued the decoration of Cattleya orchids on to the back of the piece creating a beautiful work of art. There is a unique hanging system attached to the back for displaying on a wall.

Tiffany Scull

Exploring and celebrating her fascination with the natural world through ceramic forms and intricate sgraffito drawings. Tiffany’s creative process for every piece begins with a series of detailed drawings. Using a white stoneware she throws her individual and elegant forms. Once partially dry they are gently coaxed and manipulated introducing an organic feel. Selected clay slips are applied and blended setting the background hue for each design. Using Sgraffito she draws onto the clay surface cutting away by hand the top layer of slip revealing the white body underneath. Contrasting colours are added and details drawn onto the decoration completing each intricate design. Pieces are selectively glazed after the bisque emphasising the main themes then fired in an electric kiln to 1180°c.
