BRHpottery

My work comes from slowing down and paying attention—to clay, to heat, to the quiet systems that keep the Sonoran Desert alive. Pottery teaches patience and restraint, the same lessons found in cactus, birds, and hard ground shaped by time. I build each piece with respect for place, process, and the wildlife that makes this landscape feel inhabited rather than empty.

  • Artist: Not identified.

  • Genre: No genre.

I primarily queue music from soundcloud.com because that's what I mostly listen to. Every now and then, I will add in music from Apple Music.

I love the way the raw clay looks when it’s either leather hard or bone dry. I’m also experimenting with textures to see how the glazes break over it. What I’ve noticed is that dipped glaze doesn’t break too often. To really get the full effect of the texture, glazes need to be brushed on because brush strokes tend to be inconsistent and vary. While most people don’t like that, I do like that. It makes it look more natural to me. As I continue to feel this out, I’ll be posting more experimental things until I really nail down what I like.
