Artist Statement:
I chose aquatic animals for my plates bcause it is hard not to when living right next to the ocean. I used a green stain, and while using it, I was warned that it would either turn red or green because of the copper in it and the reactions with the oxidation and reduction in the gas kiln. Luckily, two came out green and two came out red with that unexpected look, it made the plates much more unique.
Artwork Dimensions: 7 inches in diameter (Each)
