Some 6 weeks ago I saw a testa di moro, an Italian vase design originally based on a Moorish head.
Enamoured with them, I asked my sister-in-law, Michelle (Hay's sister), who is a ceramicist, whether I could commission her to do one.
Here's her project after the first firing. She still has to colour and fire it again, but it's unique (not being a mass produced item) and has given her a new direction and vigour.
As you can see in the video, she's working on another and has done some preparatory drawings for more. I'd particularly like a Medusa one.
