Medium-sized, stoneware vases by Rosemary Irons from October 2025.
Organic, cylindrical vessels featuring washes of Rosemary's snowy white semi-textured glaze, detailed with small speckles, over an exposed clay base.
Rosemary Irons layers glaze, slip, and occasionally ash to create depth and movement throughout her works. Her surfaces shift from silky, marble-like finishes to glassy deposits and textural moments, echoing the diversity of her natural landscape.
Iron’s painterly application of mineral slip and liquid porcelain evoke foggy mountain ranges, rocky terrains and Red Gums, while the refractive potential of porcelain emits a soft glow when hit by natural light.
