Langhe & Piedmont

This collection is made up of pieces exploring the clay's texture; bare clay turns rough and raw when fired without a glaze.   Leather hard clay covered in slip and carved through using Sgrafitto shows contrast and depth.  This is my first time using underglaze decals which are like kiddie tattoos, they transfer onto clay with light pressing and delicate hands. 

Brown, green, and cream are the colors in this palette because they bring nature, earth, hazelnuts, and chocolate to mind.  All my favorite things come from the Langhe and Piedmont regions:).
