Sian Thomas
Ceramic Artist (Katoomba NSW)
Sian has worked for the past 25 years as a studio based ceramic artist. Tea sets were main her interest in the beginning. Still today teapots are created in stoneware with detailed patterns carved into the surfaces. In recent years she has developed a fascination in translucent porcelain working with the different thickness to create soft lighting. All worked is hand thrown and carved, and finish with a soft pooling glaze.
Sian has also developed a range of slip cast kitchenware under her “PAW” label.
Sian shows an appreciation for detail and has incorporated elements of nature in these original pieces. Her work is popular with teapot collectors and lovers of fine ceramics.
Sian studied ceramics at East Sydney Technical College in the early 80’s and won several ceramic awards. She exhibits now in numerous galleries in New South Wales and Victoria.
Artists Statement :
Working with clay has never ceased to interest me. With every kiln fired there is always something new to discover and improve upon. I am inspired by the surrounding of Flora and the local dragonfly in my area of the Blue Mountains. I also am interested in the architecture of Islam. The repetitive patterns that are adorned on their buildings give many possibilities to follow. At the present I am fascinated by translucency and the way light can illuminate through the porcelain. By carving through the clay I am creating layers of varying light bringing warmth to the work.
