A couple of blues.
My pinching process gives both of us--me, and the clay--time to develop our stories.

Seven inches tall, newly made pinched porcelain vessel. Standing on a narrow foot that seems to disappear. The form is a bright sky or cobalt blue that will become even more intense after firing. The surface is deeply textured, due to the unique pinching technique that Christine Pedersen has developed over her last 25 years of pinching clay. This technique means that each piece is always unique--the texture emerges from the clay, as the artist encourages the clay to tell its story. Pinching process underway: looking down into a half-made blue porcelain vessel, resting gently in the artist's hand. Its' interior is beautifully smooth, though the exterior is intensely textured. Another highly textured blue vessel is in the background waiting for its turn to be worked on.
