Found figurines
The Found Figurines are re-workings of mass produced figurines sourced from online auctions. Through a process of further glazing and multiple firings, the figurines are re-shaped as test tiles for new glaze recipes. Each piece is titled after the original auction listing, including typos, errors and seductive sales descriptions.
