Hand built stoneware bird feeder extruded as a hollow tube. The bottom is closed by folding the clay like paper and compressing with a dowel. Feeding stations are formed by hand and the entire piece is coated with black slip. The top is created by using a press mold. Once the slip coating is dry enough to handle the decoration is obtained by carving through the slip coating revealing the white clay body, an ancient technique known as sgraffito. The feeder is assembled using braided steel cable.

Larry Halvorsen Ceramics
"My drive is the creation of the work—the new and undiscovered ideas."

Larry Halvorsen works with stoneware clay, constructing his pieces through a combination of hand-building techniques such as coiling, press-and-slump molding, and slab building. He coats the pieces with black slip, and then, using the ancient technique of sgraffito, he carves through the slip, revealing the natural clay beneath. His pieces are fired once to cone 10 (2300 degrees) in a natural gas kiln.

Halvorsen's influences range from ancient stone tools, ritual objects, and Celtic monoliths to the wondrous variety of form and pattern in nature. He was also influenced by the two years he spent in the Peace Corps in Central America, where he saw Pre-Colombian pottery, the Mayan sites of Tikal and Copan, and the highlands of Guatemala.

Woodgrain Bird Feeder

It is absolutely beautiful. Even though its tough and made solid, I'm almost scared to hang it outside for fear the wind might break it or it might fall down.
