The Creative, Weird, & Unique Collection showcases the artists' experimental approach to pottery, blending a variety of techniques to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces.

Artistic Techniques and Unique Features

This stoneware creation is not just a piece of art; it's a fusion of various techniques that make it stand out. The artists have employed pendulum-swinging glaze application, slingshots, boiling dried clay, and clay manipulation to achieve a high-impact color application. The Manipulated Clay technique involves shaping the stoneware on the pottery wheel and then physically transforming it into an abstract, beautiful form. This unique approach ensures that each piece is a work of art that cannot be replicated, making it a true treasure for any collector.

Practical Information and Care

This stoneware is crafted from high-quality materials, including stoneware, porcelain, and raku, each offering different levels of strength and durability. The size of the piece does not significantly affect its price, as the difficulty and complexity of creating it are the key factors. While the artists strive for accuracy in measurements, slight variations may occur due to the nature of rounded objects. Any piece labeled as "seconds" may have minor cosmetic shortcomings, but they are significantly discounted. It is recommended to hand-wash this handmade ceramic to preserve its longevity and beauty. With proper care, this stunning piece will be a cherished addition to your collection for years to come.
