This oceania shell horsehair raku sculptural bowl shows one-of-a-kind vibrant iridescent violet pearl, green and gold luster created by the smoke initiating a chemical process.
This horsehair raku vessel is created using a unique firing process. The piece is hand built from coils. The terra sigillata mixed with minerals applied in a few coats to bone dry clay and then burnished creating a very smooth surface. The bowl was bisque fired and then fired again in a raku kiln. It pulled from the kiln while glowing red hot. While it slightly cools down to approximately 1100F, horsehairs were placed on the surface, igniting and leaving black carbon designs. The minerals give a luster and subtle sheen that emanates from within the clay.
Dimensions: 8.5” long by 7.25” wide by 4″ tall.

This raku sculpture is one of my new underwater life forms. I gather some of my inspiration from underwater creatures and life forms. It reflects my relationship with natural forms.
The raku ceramic decayed underwater life sculpture is loosely based on the form of the sea turtle skeleton. It does not attempt to be an exact replica. The contrast between the white crackled outside surface and matte-crusted hand-carved highly textured inside cavities emphasizes the organic nature of the piece. The design captures the natural fluidity and movement.
This shell is 8” long and 5″ wide.

I love experimenting with surface textures. This is my new experimental raku technique. This horsehair raku vessel is created using a unique firing process. The piece is hand-built from coils. The terra sigillata mixed with minerals applied in a few coats to bone dry clay and then burnished creating a very smooth surface. The vessel is bisque fired and then fired again at raku kiln. It is pulled from the kiln while glowing red hot.
Horsehairs were placed on the surface, igniting and leaving black carbon designs on the surface. The minerals give a luster and subtle sheen that emanates from within the clay. The smoke initiates a chemical process pulling vibrant iridescent gold, blue and purple-like luster to the surface. No two pieces of Raku will ever be alike.
Dimensions: 9” long by 6.5” wide by 4″ tall.

A totem born of fire and smoke—rugged, organic, and alive with iridescent luster. The surface is prepared with terra sigillata infused with minerals. At its most incandescent—pulled red-hot from the kiln—horsehair is laid across the ceramic body, igniting on contact and leaving smoky black carbon trails that dance across the form like ancient markings. The minerals respond to the heat and smoke, drawing forth a subtle, iridescent sheen—a emerald pearl-like luster that seems to rise from within the clay itself.
Dimensions: 11.5″ tall x 9″ wide x 3.5″ deep.

I felt a deep connection immediately when I started working with this black clay. Every texture and curve reflects the beauty of nature. I called this extra large sculptural bowl DREAM LAKE. A distinctive feature of this sculptural bowl is how it resembles a mountain lake.
Its dark gray earthy color connects it to the earth and rocks symbolizing strength. Carved open spaces let the bright water reflect light through adding movement. The melted sea glass created a unique surface which reminds you of deep lake waters. The Dream Lake Sculpture represents nature’s balance.
Dimensions: 12” wide X 6.25″ tall.

My weekend walks on Encinitas Moonlight Beach inspired me to do this body of work. This zen-looking stacked stones CAIRN ceramic vase reminds you of California beach stones.remind you of California beach stones. They would be a unique gift and/or a gorgeous addition to your home decor or garden.
I have developed this finishing technique after experimenting for a long time trying to achieve the desired surface. This stoneware vase is hand-built and shaped as beach stones. While still in a wet stage, the stones were rolled in fine crumbs of dry clay of different colors. Then various slips and under glazes were layered on top of the leather hard clay.
This piece represents nature’s balance showing how imperfect forms can be beautiful and full of meaning.
The vase size is: 11 tall by 6″.
