Barry Stedman joins Online Ceramics

Barry Stedman has joined Online Ceramics growing list of outstanding British potters. Barry’s work is incredible painterly and he doesn’t shy away from marking his canvas of clay. Barry uses a palate of green, red and blue with black on a red earthenware body that has been dipped in white slip.

Most of Barry’s pots have been thrown and altered. His decoration is loosely applied with intense colour that he has emphasised with the use of black oxides and sgraffito lines that cut through the white slip to reveal the red body. The final touch is the way in which he often leaves the focal points of his pots unglazed.
