Features

  • Deep Etched

    A technique using applied wax or shellack to create a textured surface by washing away the clay leaving the wax area in relief.

  • 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.

  • 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.
