Cup O' The Month ~ February

I bought February's Cup O' the Month from Elke Sada at the Ceramic Art London 2011 fair.

Elke paints slip onto plaster and then pours wet clay on the plaster. When this firms up, she uses the slabs to build her ceramics.

The colours were bright and the marks were gestural. I also really liked her shapes. On the mug I bougth the painted slab is used for the bottom of the cup, which is a nice surprise inside.

I paid £40 for this cup and I think it is another treasure.
