about my ceramic Process
My process centers on crafting unique pieces from clay, primarily using slab-building techniques. Each creation I undertake involves shaping the clay into distinct hollow forms, with a thickness typically ranging from 0.5 inches to 1.5 inches.
Firing my pieces to either cone 3 or cone 6, with most glazed projects reaching cone six, ensures their durability and vibrant finish. I explore a multitude of finishing mediums, including glaze, spray paint, acrylic, watercolor, oil, wax, graphite, clay, fabric, and wood.
The creation of life-size horses, which can take anywhere from three weeks to three months, underscores the meticulous dedication woven into my craft. These large works also vary in weight, ranging from 100lbs to 700lbs, adding a physical dimension to their artistic significance.
