Shield studio pottery produces functional stoneware, most as one-off bespoke pieces. Iain throws stoneware pots with ash based glazes rendering non-uniform and unpredictable surface colour influenced heavily by the clay body and the firing techniques. Varying the clays and the glaze application methods constantly produce different and pleasing pastel tones with a satin/matte finish. Earth tones, satin sheens and texture from the clay body are qualities Iain enjoys in his pots. Please visit www.shieldstudiopottery.com for more details and recent work.
