Michele uses a number of hand building techniques using both porcelain and stoneware clays. These include slab building, press moulding and slip casting to create her variety of products which include vases, plates, bowls, wall art and one-off sculptural pieces. She has developed her own glazes and uses these with underglazes and slips. Michele’s work is recognisable by the way she combines glass and ceramics with some of her organic forms.
These are distinguish by the strong decorative elements in her work, the way she marries colour and surface decoration using different surfaces treatments such as sgraffito, enamel decal transfers and lustres and then multiple firings to get the desired effect. Her inspiration comes from the simple forms found in nature, Irish wildlife, the Irish coast and sea. Michele’s work encapsulates and celebrates the beauty and joy of the natural world.
