Mark Makers

2016, Graphite and Bone China

Using traditional methods and materials Mark Maker is a homage to Airspace gallery 10 year anniversary and Stoke-on-Trent. A Pencil, a simple and ancient tool, is the ideal symbol for potential. Pencil leads are normally fabricated by mixing clay and graphite together and then extruded into thin cylinders and baked. ‘Mark makers’ are a mixture of bone china and graphite in reference to Stoke-on-Trent’s ceramic history. After the exhibition, these 10 chunky leads were given to Airspace Gallery to use for making future plans.

10 leads; 8mm in diameter, length variable.
