This work is the culmination of what I created by combining clay and cotton yarn for about a year. Many of my experiments ended in failure, but I’m in love with this process and can’t seem to stop.

These works were created using cotton yarn (always harvested from the cotton yarn already in my life - old sweaters, leftovers, etc, etc). I knitted that yarn into forms, which were then coated in porcelain slip. In the first firing, the kiln burns away the yarn leaving only porcelain. But in a form that could never exist if the yarn hadn’t been there. Finally, fired again with a clear glaze.
