MOORCROFT 40% OFF SALE

Black Ryden is the second new art pottery to emerge from the Moorcroft stable, the first having been Cobridge Stoneware in 1998. Original design work and shape prototypes for Black Ryden were first developed on earthenware bodies within Cobridge Stoneware. Experimentation and research married together two old techniques of surface decoration, the first being the art of sgraffito and the second being 'upbrush'. Upbrush is a means of applying powdered colour derived from metallic oxides mixed with water.
