These clay core samples are an ongoing project using scraps of clay that have collected at the bottom of containers in the studio. The clay sediments settle at the bottom of the water-filled container, and are left alone while the water evaporates. Once bone-dry, the clay samples are gently released from the container, and fired to different temperatures, using various firing methods.
Each sample has scraps from different types of clays, varying in color and texture, as well as pre-fired pieces that cause cracking as the new clay shrinks, making each sample unique.
