Clay

 

Clay is an organic material from the earth. 

 

     Originally it was made from decomposing rock and minerals over a long period of time with many natural actions such as wind, storms, volcanoes, and earth quakes shifting the earth.  Highly malleable, clay allows us to manipulate its form by hand or machine.

 

 It is transformed through a process with fire.

     Bringing clay and glaze to a high temperature removes moisture and melts the piece on a molecular level.  The firing is a transformation from the clay's humble beginnings into a solid work of art.
