Amador Clay
7″ x 7″ x 5″
This elegantly simple bowl showcases the beauty of a glossy burnt sienna glaze over slab-built Amador clay. Fired at cone10, this bowl is food-safe and able to be put in the oven, microwave, or freezer. A functional and versatile vessel, it can also be appreciated for decorative purposes when filled with some fresh apples or limes and smooth enough to allow a homespun ball of yarn to gently uncoil while knitting.
I use the term “pottery” instead of “ceramics,” to describe my work, as the term conjures handmade, more ancient methods of clay work rather than modern or more refined techniques. I want to celebrate the human touch on the clay, and as such, my pottery has an intentionality in the imperfections. Each piece of pottery is hand made, dried, fired, glazed, and re-fired at cone10, which is the hottest kiln. The glazes chosen are food-safe, and these pieces may be used in the oven, microwave, fridge or freezer safely.
