Thrown and Altered Vessel: This unique ceramic piece features a thrown vessel that has been intentionally altered, creating an intriguing interplay between form and function. The artist's skillful manipulation of the clay while on the wheel, followed by deliberate modifications, results in a striking and unconventional work that challenges traditional notions of ceramic vessels.
Various Techniques: Combines a variety of ceramic techniques for a diverse and intricate finish.
Wheel Thrown: A pottery technique where clay is shaped into forms on a rotating potter's wheel, allowing for symmetrical and rounded shapes, often used for creating bowls, vases, and other vessels.
Basketry Attachements: Incorporates woven basketry techniques for intricate, textured details in a technique we call ClayWeave.
Dipped glaze: These functional glazes provide smooth, even coatings, providing a consistent and professional finish. This technique ensures a flawless, glossy surface that enhances the beauty of the ceramics and can make the piece fully functional.
Carved: Removing clay to create decoration or shape in the clay body, often using tools to incise or sculpt the clay, adding depth and dimension to the work.
