Pilgrim Father Preacher 1

Ceramic sculpture by John Blake in stoneware hand painted with oil paint. Handmade in Stoke-on-Trent, UK. This is a unique item: only one was ever made.

John Blake’s ceramic sculptures are made from stoneware clay which is very hard when fired and has a gritty texture. They are then decorated with traditional artists’ oil paint, which is added in layers and sometimes partially sanded or polished in between. The paint dries to form a patina with a soft sheen that is pleasant to handle. Watch JB at work on these items, explaining how he made them in this video.

This figure has a hand-carved oak staff.
