My friend Sue showed me some gnomes which had been made from slipcast marble (moulded). I was inspired to explore making some of my own. My first one had a wheel thrown body and a coil built hat, seeing that I can’t throw a cylinder higher than 8cm. This one has been outside a while, and unfortunately, due to my kiln under firing, he has suffered some frost damage due to not being vitrified. I’m still experimenting with gnomes/gonks, trying new shapes, but I’m not sure they can beat this one’s charm and character, so I might return to it.
