Working typography onto ceramics came about after an experimental collaboration with poet Jenny Bornholdt and ceramic artist, Raewyn Atkinson. We combined our different skills and made Pitcher with Women, a set of three vessels each containing a part of a poem Jenny had written after Picasso. The words wind their way around each form inside or out, black on black. For the vessel pictured, a different project, we worked with a light band to carry the words.
