  3. The studio magic happens ✨
How I work:

In my work I am interested in "phenomenon glazes". These are glazes that are highly textured, gloopy, and drippy. These types of glazes are also responsible for the crawling, cracking and lunar surfaces you see in my pieces. These glazes are hard to predict, and how they turn out is dependent on several variables, some of which are out of my control. 

See examples of my work at: https://acparnell.com/

I am unable to predict exactly how the glaze will transform during the kiln firing. This element of chance and trust is central to my work, and allows for interesting and unexpected results to arise. This also means that my works are one-off pieces which cannot be replicated. So, for your special commission, I am able to look to previous works as inspiration but I will not be able to replicate them. 

I take inspiration from broad sources, so please feel free to be as abstract or creative as you like when filling out the description section of the form. In the past I have interpreted songs, emotions, and terms such as "reindeer moss", "Elgar's Cello Concerto", "melting strawberry ice-cream" and "a pink sea slug in a rock pool". Whilst reference photos can be shown for understanding your vision, out of love and respect for fellow artists, please do not ask me to replicate the work of other ceramicists.

Please note that clay is a very slow medium. Handmade pieces take time make, dry and fire, so the commission process can take up to 15 weeks. If you are in a rush,  please let me know - I may be able to help accommodate your request, but this is not guaranteed.

With love & clay,

AC Parnell

Do you have a clear idea of kind of piece you want? *
If yes please describe the kind of piece you have in mind, in as much detail as possible. 

Please include size, shape, colours, texture, composition, and any other notes. Please use terms that describe how you best see it - technical ceramics or glaze terms are not required.

Feel free to get creative here. You could include links to your Pinterest board, music, images of natural objects, or images of my previous works that capture the vibe.
If I'm not sure. That's okay, we'll flesh it out on a call.

If the piece for you or for someone else?  *
Is there anything else you'd like me to know?
I understand that the turnaround time is up to 15 weeks.  *
I understand that AC Parnell's pieces are one of a kind, and that while inspiration can be taken from previous work, they cannot be replicated exactly. *
