Description
Tony Laverick works in hand thrown and slabbed porcelain which is decorated using precious metal lustres with multiple refirings.
His pots are based on traditional forms. They have no specific meaning, but draw on a many sources and cultures creating a juxtaposition of images in a loose manner.
Technique is a high priority and the skill has to be evident in each piece. From the rim, neck, shoulder, belly to the foot of the pot, there should be harmony and balance.
There is a playfulness in his work with shapes jumping out and receding; seemingly flat shapes become dimensional.
Above all, he strives to achieve pure beauty in each finished piece.
