"Peachy Bowl"

Ceramic Bowl

Created by Judith E. Motzkin
One of a Kind
This wheel thrown earthenware vase is burnished to a the smoothness of a river stone with fine terra sigillata slip. Each piece is nested with metals, sawdust, mineral soaked straw and salt marsh hay for a final firing in a gas saggar kiln. The fire brings the work to life with the marks of active and vibrant fire captured in the smooth surface and simple form. Saggar fired work is unglazed and not for use with liquids.
Dimensions: 5.0in H x 9.0in diameter

About this Artist

Judith E. Motzkin

"I have developed a palette of colors and patterns through the exploration and exploitation of accidents."

Judy Motzkin creates the deep, complex coloration of these clay pieces with a process she calls "flame painting." She uses no glazes. Instead, she carefully burnishes each piece while damp, then applies terra sigillata once it's dry. She repeats this process, polishing between coats, until the piece is buffed to the worn smoothness of a river stone. The kind that invites the touch of the hand.

Markings appear in the kiln, where the pieces are exposed to various combustibles, some of which have been soaked in mineral solutions. What comes out of the kiln, though a direct result of what goes in, is always a mystery. The colors and markings left by the process of fire painting are what bring the final pieces to life.
