Neville Tatham

Slipware potter


Functional slipware pottery by Neville Tatham, the terracotta clay warm beneath a slip-trailed glaze.

Neville Tatham makes functional slipware pottery that is raw-fired to earthenware temperatures. The materials and techniques used remain visible, often with the warmth of the terracotta clay showing through the glaze or left bare, creating a textural contrast between the raw and glazed surfaces.

The pots are decorated using slip-trailed and incised decoration, then finished with a lead-based glaze. The application and thickness of the slip also determine a range of effects.
