Original Cat Designs by Ceramic Artist Grace M. Smith
When I was young, my Mom said finding a Cat Whisker would bring good luck. I kept mine in a little jar. (No cats were harmed and no fresh whiskers pulled, just lost or shed ) I made this jar just for you to keep your lucky whisker stash.
Although I hand pour most of my pieces, this great little pottery jar 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 refired in the kiln. Because all of the design work is done under the glaze, it is dishwasher safe..
