Things I Like - Art

I've always loved the colors that you get on ceramics that have been fired using the Raku process. You usually see them on vases or platters - these figurines from Judy Geerts are so graceful and the colors are stunning in contrast to the white glaze.

From the artist~
My current area of focus is creating stylized figures that combine copper-flash patina and white crackle glaze Raku processes. Using flowing lines, I like including a narrative connection to nature. Whether she’s holding a twig for a miniature bird to light upon or a vessel for carrying water, each figure has an expression of joy in the wonderment of the world around her.
