This piece originally had a dark purple frame, which didn’t quite work with it, so I gave it a coat of brown but left it with a worn look. The second glaze firing deepened all the colors and made them more vibrant.
These three pieces of mine were recently exhibited in a local art show:
The Pups were one of just three pieces of clay art selected for the juried show.
This tile mural of a lily pond is carved lightly so it remains functional as a serving tray since the surface is relatively flat. The tiles may be removed from the tray for use individually or in smaller groupings, such as for a trivet.
A combination of carving and bas relief style buildup, this totemic salmon is the only piece of mine that I’ve kept for myself.
