Process
Inspiration comes from all places good and bad…a texture, an object, a story, a doodle.
~I begin with the raw clay and mold it to become what I need. ~When the clay is dry, I bisque fire it in the kiln. ~I glaze the clay and fire it to a higher temperature in the kiln for durability. ~I then begin the assemblage process, figuring out the placement of the completed clay parts with the found objects. ~Epoxy is used to adhere the pieces together. ~The epoxy is sanded, and some or part of the assembled piece is painted with acrylic. ~Sometimes there is a collage process and there is mark-making with pencils of one kind or another. |
