February 2012 Ceramicists using knitting

Helen Martin

Australian ceramic artist who combines knitting and crochet with ceramics. She uses SHINO glazes to gain the fine detail she requires:


Helen Martin Sweet Suite 1 detail 2009 Glazed knitting


Helen Martin Sweet Trio 2009 Glazed knitting

Helen Gilmour

I like the delicate texture of these pieces. The base of the bowls were thrown whilst the rest are knitted. She dips her pieces in either stoneware or porcelain slip then sprays on a glaze:




Tiziana Bendall-Brunello

I really like this artist's work which is cast in porcelain slip. She is influenced by Italian Renaissance sculpture and she accentuates the folds of children's garments. She is interested in representing the human body and it's movements, even though the body isn't present anymore. I like the fragility of these pieces, particularly the little shoes.
