Morley Price

Morley Price is a ceramic artist that works primarily in porcelain. Morley uses the coiling technique to make her work by pinching and pulling the clay coils into delicate convoluted shapes. She finishes with the use of a matt glaze that shows the dramatic concept of light and shadow. In the exploration of movement in her work she has used extensions in a repeating pattern to suggest this. Her works are characterized by numerous flanges. These flanges are paper-thin vanes or wings which are built onto hollow vessel or bottle shapes. These run vertically around each piece and convey a sense of movement while others add depth and illusion. She creates these form without the use of any supports during the making process.
