Hybrid: the combination of two things to make another. ie Hybrid plants, hybrid cars, hybrid animals… and now, hybrid pottery? Well, maybe. These pieces are a combination of both sculptural and functional with a bit of mixed media thrown in for good luck. So, if you think that constitutes them as “hybrids” … great! If not, please enjoy them for whatever purpose you deem them to have!
The bottom of this bowl is ceramic and made with the crackle technique while still soft on the pottery wheel. Holes were placed around the rim so that handcrafted basketry could grace the top. The basketry is made of woven pine needles.
This stone ware pot is created with the sgraffitto technique. Before firing, the light colored clay is coated with a fine particled black clay called terra sigillatta. The layer of black clay is then carved away, creating the design. This pot is also graced with a unique handle.
This vessel was thrown in two parts to allow me to weave pine needles in between. I love the difference in glazing and textures in this piece.
