Day 2 of the Native: form and content workshop in San Diego. She works in earthenware, thrown, when leatherhard, forms are dipped in white slip, then sgraffito drawing animals around the form. Then stencils used to layout complex images, which are then sgraffito'd through the slip. Then latex is used to mask of area so color maybe applied. She then single fires them.
Her imagery is of animals raised for food. Inspired by Michael Pollard's book The Omnivores Dilemma.
Make hand extruder dies out of Plexiglas with a bevel on inside of die opening so clay is compressed as it goes through the die. Make dies out of clay also but put large metal washer on outside of clay die for support. Extrude foot ring.
