Beautiful ceramic pots by Malcolm Boyd, made in his studio in East Gippsland

Ochre coloured clays are collected from dam banks on the Fernbank property where Malcolm lives. These clays are crushed, screened and blended with a white stoneware body to produce a number of shades and textures. These coloured clay's are inlaid into the pot walls, sometimes layered and sometimes marbled to suggest landscapes. Surface clay slip may be applied and carved back to form images such as trees, flower's, plants, insects or animals. All Malcolm's pot's are hand built using moulding, coiling, slabbing, and modelling techniques. All works are high temperature fired (1300C) to allow some of the very ancient oriental glazes to mature. All works spend at least 20 hours in the wood fired kilns.

Malcolm's idea's come from landscape, history, and life.
