{"product_id":"ceramic-berry-bowl","title":"Ceramic Berry Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtist Bio:\u003cbr\u003eI am a recent graduate from Alberta University of the Arts (formerly ACAD) with a BFA\u003cbr\u003ein Sculpture and a special interest in ceramics. An interdisciplinary artist, I have been\u003cbr\u003epainting for over 15 years, and began sculpting and making ceramics during my time at\u003cbr\u003eAuArts. My work is inspired by interdependent relationships and harmonious material\u003cbr\u003einteractions with consideration to texture, movement, and sympathetic resonance.\u003cbr\u003eWithin my ceramic practice, I gravitate toward mixing different clay bodies and exploring the possibilities of functional and sculptural pieces. Functional items include vases, bowls, platters, berry bowls and plant pots, which I hope they will be cherished and passed on for generations. Born and raised in Calgary, I love the community here and contribute to it through teaching (at Pottery 123), art and food. My work has been\u003cbr\u003eexhibited in Alberta and Montreal, and you may have seen my other work with BUMP\u003cbr\u003eroad works project(s) and Chinook Blast.\u003cbr\u003eI love plants and during the summer I work with a landscaping company and love\u003cbr\u003ecreating living sculptures (as I call them). I have 40+ plants at home plus my garden andflower beds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes about my ceramics:\u003cbr\u003e- I prefer to keep the clay natural showing its unique properties rather than\u003cbr\u003ecovering it up with coloured glazes. Very few pieces incorporate any color or\u003cbr\u003ecoloured glazes.\u003cbr\u003e- I use a high-end clear glaze to ensure the pieces are food safe and water tight.\u003cbr\u003e- The plant pots I decided to attach the drainage tray because I was tired of\u003cbr\u003ebreaking my trays or them not matching the plant pot.\u003cbr\u003e- I love putting little feet on my pieces as I feel it gives them a ton of personality.\u003cbr\u003e- Mixing clay bodies is very tricky because sometimes certain clays are not\u003cbr\u003ecompatible and it is a lot of trial and error.\u003cbr\u003e- I create the piece and often carve the clay to reveal the different layers, which is\u003cbr\u003ewhy you will often see marks in the pieces. This process is time consuming, and\u003cbr\u003emeditative.\u003cbr\u003e- I feel as though the mixing and marbling of clay mimics the different layers of the\u003cbr\u003eearth and landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAverage Measurements: 13cm Wide x 7cm Tall with 1cm Tall feet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vessels by Jess","offers":[{"title":"2196","offer_id":54493099589905,"sku":"hjr1788037121607","price":43.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2197","offer_id":54493099622673,"sku":"ecq1788037121608","price":38.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2198","offer_id":54493099655441,"sku":"hcs1788037121609","price":36.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2219","offer_id":54493099688209,"sku":"ugm1788037121610","price":35.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2220","offer_id":54493099720977,"sku":"kun1788037121611","price":35.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9101\/2625\/files\/ceramic-berry-bowl_1.jpg?v=1788037126","url":"https:\/\/www.floralharvest.shop\/products\/ceramic-berry-bowl","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
