PORCELAIN JEWELRY






In the past few months I decided to work in a small scale and I have been creating diminutive shadow boxes and jewelry using a fine white porcelain clay. I have been utilizing a wide variety of textures and shapes in making the miniature organic forms. After each piece is constructed it goes through four seperate firings to acheive strength, surface and luster. Each piece is then hand painted and adorned with metalic pigment, glass or metal beads, brass rod, or other materials. Here are seven examples of the pieces I am doing. I have about 50 pieces in various stages of the creative process.
