Quiet Breeze

Glazed Stoneware Clay

13.5"H x 6.5"D

$150

This piece is thrown stoneware with painted surface design. The fronds are from imagination, painted after a walk by a stream. The muted color of the vase, as well as the simple design, are reminiscent of the quiet of the day.

Artist's Statement: 

I believe there is great satisfaction and joy in using pots made by hand in daily life. I work with stoneware clay and paint and carve surface decoration on thrown and handbuilt functional forms. My designs are typically inspired by nature. The intricate and stunning shapes and patterns found in nature add rhythm and movement to surface design and to life. Using handmade pottery adds elegance to daily routines and rituals. I have enthusiastically studied and been taught by clay for many years, and I am inspired by each new lesson.
