Item Description

Porcelaine, 14" x 14" x 3 1/2"

This piece is made from porcelain and colored porcelain embedded in the clay.  The middle section of colored clay goes right through.  The process of this technique is called Nerikomi.  There are two ways of application: one being to apply it as a veneer on the surface of the porcelain and the other is to inlay the colored clay right into the porcelain so it goes right through.  Both techniques have been utilized in this piece.  

John Fazzino holds a BFA from RISD in 1986 and an MFA from Swain School of Design, UMASS Dartmouth in 1989.  John is currently a faculty member at Providence College.  John has shown his work extensively during his art career and has received many awards and fellowships from the RI State Council for the Arts.  John has recently shown at The Outside In, in Piermont, NY, and Grimshaw Gudewicz Art Gallery in Fall River, MA.
