  • Makers Monday // Alice Duck⁠⠀ @duckceramics⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Alice runs her own independent pottery studio, Duck Ceramics. Originally founded in a small attic room in her Bristol flat, she now makes and finish each piece by hand in her Brighton studio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The technique Alice uses is called slip casting. Commercially this process is used, along with machines to reproduce identical copies of one product, churning out hundreds of 'perfect' duplicates. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ She says "there is something satisfying about imitating the machine - but with the ability to make every product individual. It might be a drunk mug, or a wonky vase, or the lines may not be as straight as they 'should be' but this is why I fell in love with handmade ceramics"⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Simplicity and function are at the core of the work Alice makes. She likes to re-imagine classic shapes and divert them from their original purpose into a design piece. A camping mug has been transformed into an object of delicate craftsmanship, and it's natural 'mistakes' have been left on show to celebrate the process, just as Alice believes they should be⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #DuckCeramics #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton #brightongallery #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #artgallery #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #artofbrighton #watercolour #watercolourart #WaterColourArtist #Brighton #AliceDuck #AliceDuckArtist #AliceDuckPotter #potter #ceramicist #ceramics ⠀⠀⁠⠀
