LIFE AQUATIC
The details:
These are all porcelain pieces finished with various glazes, lack of glazes and other firing processes, including raku and cone 6. (Yes, to the horror of “that’s not proper” ceramics snobs, I’ll totally raku-fire porcelain.) Also, a few of the pieces are soda-fired—which is a really cool process where baking soda is sprayed into the kiln during the middle of the kiln firing, reacting with the hot glaze and changing the coloring of the glaze and texture of the clay. It’s prefect for creating oceany finishes that make it look like the piece just washed up on shore.
This is an adventure
Eco-friendly coral pieces and creatures, based on real and imagined aquatic dwellers. Growing up on a swampy island surrounded by water yet never having learned to swim, deep dark bodies of water have been both frightening and curiously inspiring. Always there, but off-limits. This collection goes out to all of the flora and fauna lurking in the depths of an unknown and yet-to-be fully explored oceanic world, on which we are so dependent for our existence.
