Slab Box Series The pieces in this series are all handbuilt. The texture seen on the undecorated areas is accomplished by pressing ancient woodblock plates into the clay while it is still wet. The plates contain Buddhist stories, written in Chinese characters. This element adds a another layer of interest to the pieces and gives it an aura of the ancient. When the piece is built and leather-hard. The drawing is incised into the clay with a sharp tool. The piece is then set aside to dry. When dry, the pieces are then fired the first time...the bisque firing. After that, the pieces are glazed and fired in the Raku kiln. Embellishments are then added, like gold leaf, semi-precious beads and tampico brush elements. Sizes listed are approximate, as all pieces are individually formed, by hand. No molds are used in the creation of our work. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Please click on thumbnails to see larger images of the individual pieces.
