Forest Whisper Vase

A tall, organic-form ceramic vessel inspired by the quiet pulse of the woods and the secret worlds growing within it. Wheel thrown (12" at the start of shrinkage) and textured to echo the subtle grain of tree bark, this piece rises in misty grays and earthy tones, giving the impression of a trunk kissed by rain and time. Tiny sculpted mushrooms emerge from the surface like gentle forest spirits, adding a touch of enchanted realism.

Wood-soda fired in a catenary arch kiln nicknamed "chicken cat", this vase harnesses natures elements fully - water and earth in the making process, fire in the finishing process and air in the 2 week cooling process. This piece fired in a wood-fueled kiln for 3 days, and no glaze was applied to the shelf before firing. All surface color and decoration you see is from melted wood ash and soda ash, and materials within the clay coming to the surface through the alchemical process of firing.
