Trayci Tompkins is a self-taught, full time ceramic artist working from her studio at
her home in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal. Trayci has explored the jungles of South
America and worked with potters in Indonesia, as well as learned the Raku method
of firing from the Japanese, and now combines it with
local ethnic practices of pit firing. The results are her uniquely beautiful
smoke fired pots, each with their own grey overtones depending on the wood
shavings used and a rare pinky hue to some caused by exploding salt!
And as well as her own original
pots, she produces with Albert a range of earthenware and stoneware functional ceramics,
each with their own quirky style.
