#58 XL Stoneware Serving Platter - Iridescent Abstract Mother of Pearl Art - (Creative Collection)Artists: Dan Pearce, Tonya Guest, Courtney Mathewson Dimensions: 15. 75" x 2. 25" Year Created: 2024 Collection: The Creative, Weird, & Unique Collection DESCRIPTION: It took all three of the ceramic artists on our team to create this piece over the course of 1 2 months. With this entire collection, we got hyper experimental with our building techniques, glaze application, and design. Each piece is truly one of a kind, meant to be a larger than life

" It has grown on me big time since I first saw it

RAKU: This pot was fired in its second firing using the raku process and special raku glazes/application

It definitely will grab the eye of whomever sees it

I achieved the exterior texture by thumping and paddling it

This contemporary pot is the biggest in this entire drop and will certainly look fantastic wherever you put it

Everything looks good in them

which we paddled into the exterior

This bowl will stand beautifully as decor or is fully functional as a serving bowl

and meant to be decorative or hold large food items such as bread or fruit

The "naked" gray clay has such a good energy when banded inside and out with dark

The process of making a split-crack surfaced pot includes throwing a cylinder on the pottery wheel

There are four similar (though all different) pieces with this final look
