This jug was inspired by a demonstration at one of our club meetings. It was thrown on the the wheel using sodium silicate to create a textured surface and decorated using “oil spot” glazes.

Artist: Priya Shukla
Exhibit#:
Title: Smiling Dottie
Priya moved from the UK to New Zealand 14 years ago. The dots represent all of life’s experiences which make up a person and contribute to their make-up.
Having had her first child in 2020 during lockdown season, Priya was unable to be joined by family. Dottie’s wavy shape reflects the unstable world climate (both literal and metaphorical) at the time (and perhaps still) and also internal fluctuations.
Smiling Dottie is an example of how a mother has to keep on smiling and functioning despite life’s difficulties and constant exhaustion. Her jagged edge shows how much a mother gives to her child, which can be a loss to herself. She is perfectly imperfect.
