Desert Motif Platters
Each piece is a result of 13 separate process that require 4 weeks to complete. Decoration is a combination of stamped designs from ancient Indian woodblocks and slip trail designs. The pieces are made from a combination of throwing and hand building techniques, then they are assembled. Each platter is approx 22″ long x 5″ high
The first step in decoration is impressing the woodblocks into the soft clay, then they are placed in a template to shape them. After they reach leather hard stage, I apply a slip trail design to the surfaces. They are sprayed with multiple glaze applications then finished with gold luster glaze.
I take my inspiration from the Sonoran desert flora that surrounds my studio where I work.
