This is a special vase - a classic urn shape and the color really pops out on this one. I knew it was special as soon as it came off the wheel.
Items I create are hand-thrown pottery from clay on a deals wheel in my studio or occasionally hand-formed flat pieces. All are unique, one-of-a-kind and there are no production runs of this work. Nor are the pieces dipped in glaze - they are all hand painted with multiple coats to achieve a rich dimensional glaze look.
My bowls and vases are fired TWICE in a kiln, the first firing is a bisque fire where I apply an underglaze color by hand - typically three coats of color so there is layer of background color on every piece. After that firing, I then create the intricate designs with special adhesive tape, dots or free form glaze splatters to create the modern contemporary look of my pottery. After the design, three more coats of glaze color or clear are hand painted on. When dry, I remove the tape and dots and on select items, give the bottoms a distinctive red coat. At this time, I return to the kiln to fire the finished piece to a wonderful lead-free gloss or matte finish.
The process is highly laborious, but I love the simple, whimsical and unique look of every piece. I am constantly experimenting with color combinations, design concepts and ultimately the actual use of these pieces for my friends and customers. I hope you enjoy the pieces for many years to come and I look forward to your feedback on my work. Yours in Clay . . . Eva.
