Both Rosemarie and George Greedy create works in Stoneware, Porcelain and Raku, and between them produce a large range of articles including Ikebana containers, Japanese stylistic masks, wall hangings, candle holders, fountains, Zen gardens and vases of different sizes and design.

Rosemarie is presently working to expand her skill on the wheel with the throwing of large rounded pots. Stretching the clay to its limit is both demanding and very exciting, leaving the rounded belly looking as though it will explode any minute. Also new for Rosemarie is the firing technique using Ferric Chloride. Taking the pot from the kiln at approx. twelve hundred degrees Fahrenheit, the ferric chloride is sprayed over it, and this gives a beautiful red/orange colour to the body. Sometimes feathers and horsehair are placed on the pot while it is still hot, the result being a decoration of fine black lines. The contrast with the red/orange body colour is quite beautiful.

Raku, Ferric Chloride Finish

George likes to take his thrown pots and change the shape so radically that you would never imagine that they began life on the wheel. Since George trained in all facets of art he often uses the clay surfaces for graphic expression. His thrown and altered pots with incised drawings are examples of this.

Triple fired - Black glaze, Gold lustre design

Ikebana Vase - Raku fired - impressed design - white crackle glaze

Raku fired mask

His multi-media masks and wall hangings have also become a recognizable theme. These are hand formed and are mainly Raku fired. To finish, they are adorned with earrings and hair ornaments.

Rosemarie also produces vases and art pieces using more traditional raku glazes.
