This low fire white earthenware vase is first wheel thrown and trimmed. The skink is hand-sculpted with meticulous detail and placed so that it looks like it could actually run off of the piece. This vessel is bisque fired to cone 04-1945f which results in a creamy white surface for me to color. The artist achieves her intense warm yellow by brushing on 5 layers of . The skink is painted in a gradation of vertical stripes in a range from white to yellow, green, turquoise, and ending in a medium blue. This is in contrast to the black and white details on the skink. 3 layers of clear, gloss glaze are then brushed over the underglaze and inside the vase to waterproof. It is then kiln fired one final time to cone 05 this time-1888f for 8 hours, cooled for 24 hours. Each piece is unique. This vase is perfect as a sculptural piece of art or equally at home filled with flowers. Slight variations in composition, dimensions, and colors may occur.

Lisa Scroggins

"People often tell me that my work is unlike anything they have seen. Much of my work is thrown on the wheel, and then sculptural additions are added. These additions range from lizards, frogs, snakes and fish, to ivy, leaves and birds. "

Perhaps because Lisa Scroggins has lived mostly in urban settings, her creative thinking often turns to nature and organic forms. It seems only natural to her to sculpt from nature. The artist's love of ceramics began in high school and progressed as she attended the Rhode Island School of Design, and later, the Parsons School of Design in New York City.

Scroggins loves the tactile experience and the symmetry of hand-throwing vessels on the wheel, and the asymmetrical focus of adding small pieces of sculpture to the vessels. Each piece of Lisa Scroggins' work is created entirely by the artist's hand.

Lisa Scroggins' background in graphics shows through in each piece of ceramics with her love of patterns, bright colors, and use of composition.

Love it!

I have the feeling I already gave this vase a 5 star rating. The color is true to the photo. It is vibrant! I have glass shelves and that skink is front and center.

I have looked at this vase for a long time. I couldn't figure out where to put it. Now it is in place and I absolutely love it! Great vibrant colors.
