Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne Pepper
2.75”h x 2.5”w
Each tiny pepper seed was careful crafted and placed on the tip of a needle head. While creating this piece, I like to think of the symbolism attached to the cayenne pepper. It may represent accelerating energy , breaking through stagnation and a dispelling of negative forces.
Lined in KE Lake glaze (a speckled and glossy swirl of blue and green)
These ceramics are handmade with a porcelain/stoneware clay mix and reduction soda fired to cone 10/2300 degrees. Only a small amount of soda ash is added for a satin finish and to keep the process more eco friendly. Surface cracks are created by using a special drying technique during the wet stage of making. Minimal glaze is used as the artist prefers clay oxides/stains for colorant. Each piece is one of a kind.
