Contemporary Black Stoneware Ceramic Bowl by Rachel Peters, Unglazed, In Stock.

About the Item

Contemporary Black Stoneware Ceramic Bowl by Rachel Peters, Unglazed, In Stock. This bowl has been hand built from medium textured Vulcan Black Stoneware Clay using the traditional method of coiling. Refined and finished by hand to create a beautiful tactile surface. This piece is unglazed so is suitable for dry display only. Not food safe. Rachel creates abstract biomorphic sculptures, reminiscent of organic forms or human figures. Her work is rooted in the physicality of clay—its rawness, its texture, and the way it responds to touch. Hand-built through coiling, each piece evolves slowly, allowing the form to emerge naturally. She is drawn to curves, soft edges, and surfaces that invite interaction, emphasizing form and texture rather than surface decoration. Her inspiration comes from many places. Some sculptures take cues from organic forms, while others are more figurative, often representing strong female forms that reflect the resilience and strength she has found in herself. Each piece begins as a sketch, serving as a foundation, but the process of working with clay allows for evolution, as forms shift and develop through making. Rachel’s journey into ceramics wasn’t planned. After a career in social work and time spent living in South Africa, she reconnected with her creativity through clay. What started as a simple pottery class quickly became something more—a way to slow down, to explore, and to create with intention. In working with clay, she found not only a creative outlet but a sense of grounding and purpose, shaping both her practice and her perspective. Inspired by the simplicity of Danish design, she favours clean lines, organic shapes, and a muted, earthy palette. She works primarily with grogged stoneware, embracing its natural texture and subtle imperfections. Each sculpture is an invitation—to pause, to notice, and to connect with the material. At its core, her work is about the balance between structure and fluidity, strength and softness. It is about creating forms that feel both familiar and abstract, pieces that do not just take up space but hold a presence within it.
