Ceramic Jar Vases with Flowers

Terry ShipleyComment

All of my previous vases have been functional. The "Jars" are not.  They came about recently while looking at unfired cylinder pieces thread on a totem stand in my studio. Maybe two years they sat there waiting.  The Jars do not have bottoms and everything else is attached.

Voila'

Ceramic Tile and the Hallway Phone Nook!

My client had the most wonderful idea for their bungalow's hallway phone nook. Do you remember those?! They wanted to install a ceramic piece to fit into the approximate 10" space with the lovely arch. It no longer served as the land line's main connection, so what better space to install art!!

I use white earthenware from a slab construction, then begin painting underglazes before firing.
