Hare by Richard Ballantyne and Carol Read

http://carolceramics.com/ R & B Ceramics “Since Easter 2013, I have been collaborating with Richard Ballantyne. The work is mainly sculptural animals, which are Raku fired. To start with a basic enclosed shape is made on the wheel. They are then manipulated and sculpted to create each animal – some more grumpy than others. We are both fully involved in throwing, sculpting, glazing and firing the work. Some combine an equal amount of work while others have more input by one or other of us. Some of the sculpture is figurative and has been fired to higher temperatures to enable garden display. Again, each piece is unique and a collaborative effort from the original idea to the sculpture on the plinth. The creative buzz of planning the next work and the pleasure of working alongside an artist with different ideas, accepting constructive critique, has been very productive.” - Carol Read
