Earth Tone Mug slip dots and a decorative

slip dots and a decorative incised coil

Inspired by my time in New Mexico and by the years-long drought we’re experiencing in SW Florida

this piece is a sculptural tribute to Indigenous knowledge and the abundance of the Earth

Earth Tone Mug slip dots and a decorativeWheel thrown red stoneware clay mug decorated with refined clay slips called terra sigillata. I created these decorating slips from clay samples that I have foraged in different states over the years, or that were given to me by other potters. I also used slips that I made from commercially processed clays such as Redart (the dark red lower portion with the carved line pattern). The aqua diamonds and interior are glazed. Holds 10 12 oz.
