Single Sawdust Sphere 1

Single Sawdust Sphere 1 is a handmade ceramic piece by North Carolina artist Heather Delisle. This is a sculptural piece that hangs on the wall but it can also be displayed on a table or shelf. Each sphere has a hole on the back for hanging and approximately measures 4.25" (W) x 3.5" (H). These spheres are wheel-thrown and kiln fired before receiving the final surface treatment. They are finished in a sawdust firing which gives each sphere a unique carbon imprint from the organic material burned on its surface. Some spheres are also given a splash of color by a cold-finish with acrylics and a varnish spray.
