Moira Goodall
Moira creates natural organic vessels with rich tactile surfaces. She draws upon the soft Essex estuary where she lives, with the fleeting and ever-changing life between the tidelines as the source for her inspiration. Moira hand builds in a calm, intuitive way, adding soft coloured slips before she burnishes or applies texture to the surfaces. After an initial firing, the vessels are then smoke fired using a masking technique developed over the years. Moira’s work is contemplative and captures the essence of the landscape through pattern, texture, colour and form, especially that which comes from the natural weathering process.
