Clay Endearment VIII “Offering”

Two hands extend offering a heart. This sculpture is in 3 pieces, can be arranged as you wish to sit on a shelf or altar

Clay Endearments are small sculptures for the altar or wall that speak to the heart in some way.  This work is hand sculpted and bisque fired, then sent through the intense process of raku where it is pulled blazing hot from an 1800 degree kiln, then smothered in combustibles.  Thermal shock creates cracks which are filled with carbon from the combustibles  Like our hearts these pieces survive more or less intact,  but with more depth and character from weathering the distress.
