Raku and saggar
There is a very large variety of ceramic techniques
Firing of earthenware, stoneware and porcelain with wood, gas or electric-heated kilns give very different results.
My work is differentiated into two phases: sculpting the shape then working the surface. The skin of my seeds can either be as true as possible to the natural state or interpreted using available ceramic techniques. The simple choice of enlarging their dimensions should lead to a complex representation of their surface so as to catch the wind or water. In order to achieve this result I rely on aesthetics.
