TEXTURE

The strongest element
immediately obvious in her
work is the depth of texture.
She creates sculptured
effects by such methods as
pressing a woven mat into
the clay, or using a special
stamp for patterning, a as well
as by treating the object with
different stains and glazes to
bring out the texture.

“If you can get a glaze to
break over texture,” she
says, “being thicker in some
areas and thinner in others
will often make the glaze
change colors completely.”

She often avoids glazes
altogether and does staining
instead (rubbing an oxide
solution on and then rubbing
it off) so as to catch the
grooves and bring out the
texture even further.

Donna says.
