Persephone: The Goddess of Spring Growth

The following vase is a combination of two techniques, hand-building and wheel throwing. The face, hair, vines, and flowers are all hand-built using NO molds or visuals. The vase was wheel thrown. The clay used to create the piece is called Ash. The glaze on the vines and flowers is called Rutile. The vase was inspired by the changing season and our connection to mother earth. The serenity and beauty which is within us all can be reflected in the art which we create and surround ourselves with. My art is a piece of me and I hold it very dear to my heart.
