A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "I use a slab construct technique to create each one of my textured dishes. I wheel throw my garlic keepers and use a New York style cut on my olive dishes. My two clay bodies i use are icelia porcelain and Navajo wheel. I also use coyote brand, food safe glazes. I create around 50 plaster drape molds at a time using a 3 part negative process, hand texturize using a carving tool, and hand press 6 inch slabs of clay, from my slab roller, to create the texture of the dish. I dry for 12 - 24 hours depending on weather, hand scrub with a sponge, bisque at 04, scrub again , glaze, and fire at cone 05 oxidation."
