These are heavily sculpted little mushroom stone ruins/ mini temples. The smaller one has a hole on the top if you want to make it an incense burner of it could hold a dried flower. This listing is for one of two different pieces priced accordingly. Please select the option you are interested one or the other or both while checking out. These are pit fired sculptures.
Process:
Each pot is handmade here at Stardust Clayworks. I usually start with a ball of clay and raise a few pieces at the same time. Making multiples gives you the ability to work back and forth as pieces become less plastic and are ready for more working. The sculpting usually takes a couple days to complete in between working on other pots or tile designs simultaneously. The pot is 2024 then set aside to dry completely. Once dry ,color is hand painted using terra sigillatta infused with mason stains. At this point the pot will get a first of two firings. After the first firing , stain and additional surface treatment is applied. The second firing sets the stains and the pot can now be hand buffed using a blend of coconut oil and bees wax
