Seed Burst is glazed with a hand made glaze with a barium base to create a matt white finish. The matt finish is preferable to absorb the light and let the piece create its own colour and shadow. The piece is approximately 25cms in height and 20cms diameter.

Notions of the living landscape, abstraction, pollen grains, and natural pattern mark Adele Howitt’s ceramic art. Slab work is twisted and turned to add detailed relief utilising the traditional pottery techniques discovered whilst investigating the South Yorkshire Potteries. The clay is a sculptural medium, opposing the tradition of using it as a technical medium or an exploration of the vessel. Techniques include, drawing, hand building, coil / slab building, hand-thrown elements, extruded clay, printing and glazing.
