Western Scene Utensil Holder
Western Scene Utensil Holder
Description
Body: Stoneware
Design: A desert scene featuring a horse and rider following a cow across a backdrop of desert plants while a vulture flies overhead. The silhouette exposes the textured stoneware body and the glaze is a sparkling black with gold flecks throughout.
Color note: these photos were taken towards the end of my sun window and show a yellow tint from the natural lighting.
Making: My pottery is hand-formed on the potter's wheel from stoneware clay. It is then heated over 1700 degrees fahrenheit to "vitrify" the clay, turning it into stone.
I create a design, then apply it to the form as a resist. Glaze is then brushed everywhere except the bottom of the piece. When the resist is removed, it leaves a silhouette of bare clay. It's a simple aesthetic that preserves the texture and color of the clay, while featuring unique design elements.
Care: These pieces are microwave, dishwasher, and food safe.
