Features
- 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.
- Floating Blue
- Floating Blue glaze is a mid-fire, variegated glaze known for its deep blue hues and the appearance of depth, resembling water. Its surface can vary from glossy to semi-matte, often exhibiting streaks or spots of lighter blues and greens, creating a visual effect that seems to "float" over the surface of the ceramic piece. This glaze is popular for its unique and unpredictable finish, making each piece distinct.
