I am interested in the way that vessels can shift the energy of a space. Made on the wheel, built in stages, I use slabs as coils, throwing each one to grow the piece before adding the next. I don’t work from a particular tradition or pattern; after years of making functional stoneware, I’ve let myself follow the shapes I’m drawn to while creating this work. As a piece unfolds, a shoulder can turn\u003cbr\u003esharply, a neck can narrow, a body can swell. I am drawn to elemental glazes that show a wide range of variation depending on application and the kiln atmosphere; I use a high iron clay body and fire in reduction.\u003cbr\u003eIn this way, the clay and the vessel become their own expression, creating a record of the interaction between my hand, the piece, and the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarah Kersten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68128952352851,"sku":"sarahkersten-vessel-013","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/4225\/files\/sarahkerstenvessel.jpg?v=1794518971","url":"https:\/\/www.ericatanov.com\/products\/sarah-kersten-vessel-013","provider":"Erica Tanov","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
