Ian Garrett is a South African master ceramicist who has had a lifelong fascination with the age-old craft of hand-building, burnishing, and pit-firing ceramics. His vessels appear both timeless and strikingly contemporary.

The linear textures on this vessel suggest cartographic contours or magnetic fields.
