Hand Altered Ceramics
The next level of elegance is in the creation. Working with porcelain has provided me this opportunity. After fully exhausting the community studio’s numerous glazes and combinations, I have moved on to embrace the natural qualities found in the material itself. I work with porcelain to create wheel thrown pottery that is altered by hand. The true beauty of the finished piece is functional and dynamic to accent your home decor.
The Bare Collection
Wheel thrown porcelain vessels that are hand altered through the use of water etching. The exterior of the pieces are unglazed to reveal the natural beauty of porcelain. The absence of color creates more of a focus on the form itself.
Water etching is a technique in which areas of the clay are masked off with a water tight substrate. Then the clay material is carefully sponged away to achieve the desired depth of the design.
