Porcelain and Bone China by Sasha Wardell
The beautiful qualities of porcelain and bone china have fascinated patrons, collectors and makers alike for centuries. The two materials are often perceived as one and the same clay, for they both possess qualities of whiteness, strength and translucency. However each material has its own particular characteristics, which merit further exploration and discussion. Porcelain is a well-documented subject both in traditional and contemporary terms. Bone china has historically been labelled an 'industrial' material which has narrowed its appeal. Porcelain and Bone China aims to redress the balance by demonstrating how these clays have played an equally important role within and outside the industrial domain.
Sasha Wardell has been working with bone china since 1982. Having studied ceramics at Bath Academy of Art in the 1970s, then later at post-graduate level at North Staffordshire Polytechnic, she developed a fascination for bone china. With her husband she ran summer residential courses from their home in France. After returning to the UK, Sasha now divides her time between making and lecturing.
