EARTHEN VESSELS POTTERY, Nancy WallI ENJOY CREATING CLASSIC VESSELS THAT BRING DIGNITY & BEAUTY TO THE DOMESTIC RITUALS OF DAILY LIVING. Plate 11 inches: Oak leaf design on forest-green satin glaze Tableware items are made from a porcelainous clay (mid-fire) and include pieces such as: casserole, pitcher & tumblers, teapot, cream & sugar, mugs, serving bowl sets, pie plate, noodle/rice bowl, butter bell, trays, Ikebana vase and more. All FOOD SAFE glazes. Mugs: 5.5 inches (14 cm); ocean surf/blue glazes Below Left: Decorative saggar-fired hollow eggs (maracas); 3 inches (8cm) Right: RAKU Horsehair vessel, 8 inches; black hair lines are unique each time These vessels are hand-burnished, have no glaze, and thus are NOT water-tight or foodsafe. (below): Raku glazed vessel with woven pine-needles at the rim. (below): a section of my pottery display at a recent show. Nancy is a founding member of the SOUTH VANCOUVER ISLAND POTTERS GUILD (110 members), and also finds great joy participating in a hands-on group twice monthly with GARDEN CITY POTTERS. Marketing work at local art shows and annually in a nearby gallery. CARING FOR YOUR POTTERY: Functional items (eg. mugs, bowls) are safe in the dishwasher. As with all pottery, please avoid thermal shock (eg. don't put a cold casserole from the fridge into a pre-heated oven). |
