Description

I had no plan, as usual, when making this stoneware masterpiece! It started off life as a double-ended bulbous form, which was sealed at both ends. I was wondering what it was going to be because I was making it up as I went along – like when you make up a children’s story on the spot. In the end, it inevitably started to show signs of something familiar and soon sprung into life as this flappin chicken.

I glazed it the same colours as my chickens, which are the Andalusian Blue variety. They have dark grey feathers and red crests. Mine are freeloading a bit right now though, not giving us many eggs.

I love this one’s craggy eyes and little wings!
