GAVIN NASH  |  UNIQUE CRYSTALLINE POTTERY GLAZE

Picture
It has been a long held dream for Gavin to have his own studio and gallery.   Gavin has been mastering pottery since 1989, starting from handmade art pieces, through to now making wheel thrown art work creating beautiful forms as well as functional ware. Gavin was introduced to a glaze technique in 2001 by attending a Crystalline workshop in Charters Towers by a master potter. Gavin desire for this amazing process saw him developing the technique over 12 years to mastering this complex and beautiful glaze.

The crystal formation process is one in which great skill is required to produce crystals that grow in random patterns on each piece of work making each vessel unique.  The glazed vessels are rapid fired to 13oo degrees Celsius and then "crashed cooled" to 1125 degrees Celsius where the temperature is maintained for 5 hours. This is when the crystals a formed and grow.  No two pots can ever be the same.
The variety of pottery available at Nash Gallery is vast, from Stoneware fired functional work such as Tea pots, suger bowls, jugs and coffee cups, to large free form vases and bowls with dazzling crystals flowing over the surface of the art piece
