  • Thirsty earth multicolor vase

    Desert Rock Vase

    I have developed this raw organic surface after experimenting for a while.

Two dome shaped pieces were connected into a stone shape.

    The vases were high fired and glazed inside. A few flowers will fit perfectly and will be a unique addition to any decor.

  • Horsehair Raku Ceramic Stone Vase

    Horsehair Raku Ceramic Stone Vase

    Price range: $90.00 through $110.00

    These horsehair raku vases is created using a unique firing process. The vases were built by coiling, pinching and impressing clay on a real stone.  The terra sigillata applied in a few coats to bone dry clay and then burnished creating very smooth surface. The vessel was fired again at raku kiln and pulled from the kiln while still glowing hot. The horsehair were placed on the surface, igniting and leaving black carbon designs. No two pieces of Raku will ever be alike.

    Vases sizes vary from : 4″ to 5″ across.

    The vases look beautiful as a group.
