It is handmade by me in Wales using strong stoneware clay, the surface is finished in bright orange and brown slip decoration under a shiny transparent glaze; I have coloured the wattle, comb and beak using coloured slips to give a vibrancy of colour. The chicken has been fired to a high temperature to make it completely weather-proof and to allow it to be left outdoors in all weathers without risk of cracking, flaking or discolouring.
This chicken is one of the pieces that I made during the lockdown period of April to June 2020, using the ‘pinch pot’ technique. The shape of this bird is very tactile, inviting you to handle it to appreciate its feel. The colour and expression on his face make me smile!
