Susan Luster "Terra Cotta Fern" at the Joyful Jewel 5-5-13

"Terra Cotta Fern" Wall Hanging

Susan G. Luster

ceramic, glaze, reclaimed wood - 9 1/2" x 18"

$70

          This gorgeous fern, memorialized on Susan G. Luster's terra cotta pottery, and then mounted on a reclaimed piece of barn wood, is just asking to take it's place on a nature-lover's wall.  Susan has an unusual way of creating her pottery using slab and hand building techniques.  As you might guess, much of her inspiration for making and decorating pottery comes from the plant world. Each piece has leaves pressed into the clay before it is fired. The plant material is removed, leaving an impression that is enhanced with glaze or underglaze, making them appear to be alive in the clay after they are fired.
