Jane Waller

The most stunning revelation was the work of [Jane] Waller, virtually unknown even to collectors. Years ago, Waller devised a technique whereby different pieces of clay coloured right through by being mixed with natural oxides (cobalt, manganese, copper, iron) are patched together in abstract patterns. These are pounded in a mould, scraped much later after drying and glazed very much later still. The painstaking process, spread over several months, has enabled her to create bowls that rank among the great creations of 20th-century pottery.
