Rob and Debbie Rivett

Together, Rob and Debbie draw on their vast experience in art and ceramics to produce contemporary porcelain slipware. Their work is inspired by nature, using organic forms and decoration. They create a variety of work ranging from small and functional mugs and vases to larger more artistic wares. Each of these items are carefully handcrafted and entirely unique. As such, these everyday items are transformed into individual works of art to be cherished and cared for.

Porcelain is a fine white clay which has been revered for centuries due to its unique qualities. Delicate yet strong, this material is perfect to create items that are both luxurious and ergonomical.   Unlike other clays, porcelain has a fine grained, smooth, white body which is the perfect surface to paint on. This backdrop allows the colour of the slips to become lively and vibrant. Due to its unique body and texture, porcelain is renowned to be difficult to throw with. A lot of skill is required to create something so fine and delicate that it is translucent.
