Porcelain napkin rings made from finely rolled porcelain clay. Each one decorated with a flower and glazed in a translucent clear glaze to compliment any colour of napkin. As each napkin ring is handmade they do differ in size.
Profile of Caroline Green: After years of experimenting with different clays I have chosen to work with porcelain. Not the easiest of clays to work with but it has the qualities I am looking for; smooth, white and simple. I add minimal decoration, a freehand line drawing straight into the clay, dots made from porcelain slip or the contrast of a glass bead attached with silver wire.
I use transparent glazes in subtle colours, just enough to enhance the clay but not overpower it. This is fired to 1240c in an electric kiln.
All my work is either thrown on the wheel or handbuilt. I do not use moulds so slight differences in size or shade add to the truly handmade delight.
