Description

Forming clay by hand complements the intellectual task of manipulating clay and glaze chemistry. Catharina is compelled to innovate, exploring non-traditional ways to manipulate clays. Combining alternative materials with clay yields intriguing variations of form and unusual finish.  The effects of heat and fire play a pan-ultimate role in altering the piece, creating new forms and surfaces, tearing and splitting in the fire. Resins and textiles may complement sculptural pieces. Catharina uses a variety of materials such as stoneware, porcelain. Pieces thrown on the potter’s wheel, formed by hand, or made in a combination of techniques. Slips, oxides and different glazes used in the de-rating process.
