Joanna was inspired after studying carved marble sculptures of Bishops, prominent clergy in Wells Cathedral and figurative chess sets. Pawns have become guardians or angels and the Bishop has lent itself to becoming an archangel.
Each Angel is sculpted to give them individual features and 'personality' they are made from white earthenware and aged using manganese dioxide and transparent glaze, in the third firing metal lustre’s or on-glaze enamel colour is applied.

This is beautiful !!
