About Me:
These Handmade Original Clay Pieces are created by me, Grace M Smith, in my Home Studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My work has been featured in many juried arts and crafts shows throughout Michigan and several states, I have won awards for my work and been included in many Invitational and Museum Shows. Every design is original and copyrighted by me.

How It’s Made:
Although I hand pour most of my pieces, this great dish was poured by another ceramic studio for me. It was made in a plaster mold using ceramic slip (liquid clay). As the plaster removes water from the slip, the piece firms up enough to be removed from the mold. It is cleaned and fired in a kiln to become bisque. I draw my design in pencil on the bisque piece and using underglazes, it is then painted in a watercolor manner and fired again. After it cools, usually 24 hours, it is glazed inside and out with a clear lead-free glaze and re-fired in the kiln. Because all of the design work is done under the glaze, it is permanent and dishwasher safe.

Because each piece is handmade, although similar, no two are exactly alike. You will find my initials, GMS, on the bottom of everything I do.
