Nicholas Bernard speaks briefly about his work…

This current body of work deals with classical forms and their manipulation. Special attention is paid to proportion. The length and thickness of the neck, the placement, size and negative space generated by the handles are carefully considered. The addition of texture using heavy slip after throwing and the application of colored slips and oxides through several firings, complete the process.

Color, whether bright or subdued needs to enhance the form rather than cover it. I want the pots to glow.
