Wild Clay narrow vase
Wild Clay narrow vase
Pinch vase made from clay dug from my farm in Saskatchewan. Great for a bouquet of fresh or dried flowers, or your favourite pens. Could also be used as a drinking glass if the fingerprint texture of the rim doesn’t bug you!
The surface of the clay is shiny and smooth, with texture from the edge of my table. I rolled the piece to create uneven marks, which were then inlaid with glaze and wiped away to highlight the lines.
15cm/6” tall
Artist's Notes:
I now live in BC, Canada, but I’ll always be a Saskatchewan farm kid! Thank you for taking a look at my experiments. It took 2 years to figure out how turn this Saskatchewan mud into a mug, and I’m so happy to share the results with you. When working with this Saskatchewan soil, I like to leave a lot of the raw clay exposed, so we can see and feel the character of the clay itself. The colour varies from a shiny brown with white specks, to a matte reddish brown, depending on where the piece was in the kiln. The variance in the pieces is what makes this wild clay so dynamic and interesting to me
Food, microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe, but handmade pottery loves to be pampered with hand washing and gentle use :) The bottom of each piece has been smoothed with diamond sanding pads to prevent scratching your furniture.
