From the first time Neanderthal man held aloft a lump of clay contemplating what he could use it for, he more then likely posed the question ... functional or decorative? ' Will I make a bowl for eating my nuts and berries or should I indulge my creativity and make a clay statue of my beautiful wife. How about a sun-dial so I don’t sleep in. Maybe I could do some raku, but first I have to figure out how to make fire....' On a more serious note, clay figures have been around for a very long time and
Montana-based ceramic sculptor Adrian Arleo crafts surreal figures and hybrid creatures. Toying with scale and texture, Arleo subverts the nature of familiar beings from our world.

Beautiful figuratives sculptures of George Lafayette (USA) - Inspirations sculptures come from his inner feelings about life, rebirth and spiritual mysticism
Most Salinar pottery was fired in kilns that allowed in abundant oxygen, creating orange colored ceramics rather than the dark brown and black ceramics common prior to this period.

In this case, the handle intersects with a funnel-shaped “hat” worn by the figure depicted on this vessel, a hat that is actually the spout of the bottle. Bottles like this were made for the storage and serving of corn beer, known as “chicha.”

Vanessa Hogge translates her lifelong fascination with flowers into monochromatic assemblages of hydrangeas, roses, and myriad blossoms. The London-based artist (previously) has been working on EFFLORESCENCE since October 2019. Each of the delicate porcelain pieces is adorned with innumerable hand-sculpted florets and leaves that blossom from a central base. Rather than studying horticulture textbooks and the intricacies of plant life, Hogge works entirely from her memory and imagination and frequents gardens and other places where organic elements thrive for observation.
