Phoenix Rising … $600
As this show is the first for me after the pandemic shutdown, a phoenix bird rising from the ashes was the first concept that came to mind. This work is 18” by 28” and was constructed by hand from a white earthenware clay body. It was bisque fired to cone 04 (1945 degrees F), then glazed with three coats of low temperature glazes and traditionally glaze fired to cone 06 (1828 degrees).
Here are some “in progress” photos as I was working on its design through completion.
