This listing is for one giraffe sculpture.
- 11"h x 7.5"l x 2.25w
This sculpture is handmade completely from clay by Lindsey.
It was fired in a raku kiln and while the piece was red hot, it was removed from the kiln and placed in a can with combustible material where it caught on fire. A lid was placed on the can which changed the atmosphere around the horse to create the crackle effect on the glazed area. The black spots are unglazed.
Once cool, the horse was removed from the can and cleaned to show the colors of the horse. There is a wire in the head and tail, but the giraffe is hollow. This sculpture is free-standing. Each one is handmade so there are never two alike.
As expected with a Raku firing, the thermal shock coming out of the kiln is extreme. This can produce small cracks on the surface which mirror the fragile strength of the animal. These are not flaws, but add to the beauty of the piece.
