Kaye Poulton — Sunset Beaker

A small, narrow vessel with multi-tone glaze and subtle speckles. This stoneware fired beaker was thrown on the wheel and graced with the colours of the sunset due to the small amount of copper in the glaze and a reduction firing. It can be washed in a dishwasher.

Kaye Poulton is a ceramicist who lives and works in the outskirts of Mooroopna, Yorta Yorta Land. Her work is influenced by the surrounding land and vegetation with pieces made predominately on the wheel. She hand mixes different clays and uses a soft matte glaze to achieve a stony smooth surface, often speckled or mottled adding a rich depth to each piece.

Poulton has received major awards through Ceramics Victoria, the Melbourne Teapot Show and has been short listed in the Clunes Ceramic Award four times. Her work is held in private and public collections including Shepparton Art Museum. She has been making ceramics for over 40 years and has completed a Certificate of Fine Art in Ceramics at Bendigo TAFE College, 1987.
