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's skills on the wheel include 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. As well as regular glazing and kiln firing tecnique, she also produces raku fired pots
with both traditional and ferric chloride finishes. |

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.

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. |
