"Rainbow in Blues" an original wheel-thrown, hand-painted ceramic vase
This one-of-a-kind vase was wheel-thrown by Mom and hand-painted by me. 7 x 6 x 5.5 inches
It all started when…My mom, Donna Ewell, traded a trailer for a kiln. Many, many years later, she created these vases and I painted them.
All of these pieces began as a block of clay, wedged to remove air bubbles and get the clay particles aligned to go in the same direction, and then formed into the desired shape.
These were thrown in cold weather in Mom’s studio, which was chilly. To remedy this, the water used for throwing was heated in a crockpot perfectly placed beside her wheel.
They were allowed to dry under careful conditions to prevent cracking, cleaned off rough edges, and bisque fired.
All of these pieces were painted following the bisque firing and treated to a final clear, matte glaze and allowed to dry before the final glaze firing.
My paintings on these pieces are inspired by patterns in previous paintings on canvas.
All our pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe and is very durable.
We hope you enjoy using and giving to others our one-of-a-kind pieces.
