Collection: Leaf Plates

The leaf plate body of work was inspired by the Covid-19 lockdown. Plants became my method of healing and self-care.  Bringing permanence to the beauty of nature – the leaf plates and plaques were born to bring the outside in.  The largest rhubarb plate was a self-imposed technical challenge to make one as large as my kiln could handle.

Made with actual leaves pressed into the flattened clay, I then molded them into the desired shape and added feet to elevate.  Glazed using at least 5 different glazes both commercial and custom mixed, I wanted to create depth and variety just as found in nature.
