This piece is 12" X 3"
The decorations on this stoneware pottery are made from the imprint of fresh leaves and flowers gathered from the woods, fields and gardens around our farm in Middlesex, New York. First, the piece is thrown on the wheel, then the leaves are pressed into the clay and colored slip is brushed over the leaves. The piece is dried and then bisqui8-fired. The leaves burn away, leaving only their imprint and outline. A slip is applied to accent the imprinted veins, and then the entire piece is dipped in either a celadon or glossy white glaze and high-fired.
