Lara Scobie: New Ceramics

About

Lara makes slip-cast vessels using ‘parian clay.’ The term ‘parian’ is derived from Paros, the Aegian Island famous for its beautiful white marble, which was used extensively in classical Greek sculpture. Lara applies decoration on to altered assymetric forms,  the geometric, ‘op-art’ patterns of her surface drawing enlivening the contrast with the smooth white surface and the luscious interior glazes.
