Item Description

This beautiful, one-of-a-kind pottery piece is named 'Maryam's Basket' in honor of the artist's grandmother.  It can be used for display or as a dramatic vase.  The dimensions are 16"x13"x5.5".  It is hand built of porcelaineous stoneware.  The exterior is impressed wth texture and washed with stains and fluxes to give it a sheen.  No glaze is used on the exterior to accentuate texture.  The handle and trim are textured to appear as rope. 

About the Artist:

Adrina Richard is an expert handbuilder with an eye for contemporary style and geometry.  She is an approachable, generous (as evidenced by this incredble donation) artists we've had the pleasure of meeting.  It's not at all infrequent that you'll find her leading an informal how-to in the studio, sharing glaze information, or just demonstrating the latest of her new tools to a group of curious studio members.  A relative newcomer to the 30,000 year-old clay scene, Adrina has been juried into some very prestigious shows (The American Craft Council, Perspectives and Fired Works for starters) and exhibits at several galleries in the Southeast.
