Patricia creates her ceramic forms by reconstituting varieties of reclaimed clay from high schools & community college art classrooms as well as the studios of fellow ceramic artists.
The clay is poured into forms
or layered into slabs and left to dry in our hot desert sun. When leather-hard, she applies a white slip to the exposed edge(s) and removes the layer of slip to expose the clay beneath. She has no formal plan, just lets her creativity take her wherever it may lead...
I could see my students creating some of these small bowls or cylinders in my classroom...
The lovely hand in my pix belongs to my cohort in crime that day - stop by her blog to see more pix and read more about her take on the artist...
This idea of a functional planter could be accomplished by older students with ease...
Lovely, lovely work...
Thank you so much for the inspiration, Patricia!
