Reef Vessel no. 03

Like a growing reef or a glowing being, this piece was thoughtfully sculpted piece by piece. This stunning piece is a combination of many techniques. Thrown on the wheel, handbuilt and altered with "fins" built to the sides, the texture was then added, layer by layer. A porcelain slip brushed on allows for the glaze to glow. 

This piece may hold a bloom from your garden or allow it to stand gloriously on its own as a statement piece.

See some of the process on my blog post about this series of sculptural vessels.

This ongoing collection of vases, vessels, and artworks are created from the forms of the sea and cosmos, somewhere between the depths of the ocean and the birth of stars.

The beings these pieces become speak to the beauty of the universe, it’s patterns, and how we are intimately connected.

These pieces feature a variety of techniques- wheel thrown + altered, sculpted. A few are completely handbuilt. Glaze work applied in a painterly watercolor effect.
