Please join me as my ceramics journey continues
Unique Pieces
Individual pieces inspired by nature and made by me: Rachel Lucas.
I live and work surrounded by the beautiful Bouddi National Park and have traveled extensively in the outback of Australia. The Australian environment in all its diversity informs my ceramic practice.
Colour
I love the colours of Australia. The rich earthy reds
and the soft colours of the eucalypts.
Texture
Recently, I have become increasingly interested in texture
Using Simple Colour Palettes
Hand building
I have started to handbuild to introduce more texture
Firing Techniques
I am also experimenting with different firing techniques such as .... Naked Raku
and Obvara
Latest work
Riverbed series
Clay mosaics capturing the essence of outback Australia.
I contrast the interior colour with the exterior.
Raku series
I have focused on naked raku and obvara, often adding horse hair to the pieces during the firing process.
