Micaceous Wave Bowl A bit larger than aBecause of where I live, I spend a lot of time observing waves in bodies of water. This piece was coil built with micaceous clay that I used for the first time during my art residency in Taos this past summer. Clay containing metallic flecks of mica is naturally occurring in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. Traditionally it was used for cooking pots because the mica acts as a temper reducing the risk of thermal shock which leads to cracking.
