Description
A silhouette shape vase hand painted with simple bold shapes.
Unique in every way, they will make a statement in your living space and never two are the same. This is why I love making them, it keeps my creativity going and inspiration is never short.
The surface design is inspired in simple patterns inspired by Matisse and its cut outs art.  It was made using a slab building technique in a warm mid fire clay body stoneware. Its interior has been glazed with a white glossy glaze finish, the outside of the vase has some areas glazed on some areas of the paintings, the rest has been left unglazed featuring the beauty of the raw clay. It is a very unique and fun flower vase.
As my pieces are 100 % handmade. They may show beautiful imperfections that only a handmade product can achieve. I enjoy the slab building process and create pieces following the Japanese philosophy Wabi -sabi. The characteristic of the Wabi-sabi include asymmetry, simplicity and sometimes roughness depending on the claybody I use. There is a natural appreciation of natural objects and processes.
Measurements: 9 cm (W) at bottom x 15.5cm (H) x 5 cm (W) at top

Materials: The vases were made with cone 6 stoneware. They are hand carved, hand painted utilising food safe glazes and underglazes.
Sustainability: Alma Terra products are ethically made by me in my backyard studio, I care about the environment and the footprint on earth, I only use Australian raw materials and products instead of flying them form different parts of the world, I support Australian businesses only. I recycle and reuse water from the studio to water the veggie garden right outside my creative space. Every left over of clay is recycled until I collect a sufficient amount to make more ceramic pieces. The kiln is run on solar power to fire my work so I minimise the demand from electricity.
I use new and repurposed cardboard boxes and recyclable and biodegradable packing materials only.
Alma Terra ceramics are produced with passion in North East Victoria in the beautiful Ovens Valley.
