Lana Wilson's Artist Statement

I definitely love to make stuff. For twenty years I made handbuilt clay pieces adding images, layers and some movable parts. I was greedy for complicated textures, drawers that worked, multiple stamped layers. With my abiding interests in unusual surfaces and ritual ethnic objects, I made altars, sculptural teapots and multi-layered mosaics.

Currently I am interested in functional ware. I paint three or four layers of colored slip on soft slabs, sgraffito through the layers and use a rolling pin to flatten and spread the colors. Sometimes I carve out bits, turn them upside-down and inlay them like fossils. I use these slabs to make plates, bowls, cups, vases and teapots.

Previous phases in my four decades of clay work have included reduction gas firing for thrown functional stoneware, metallic salts on porcelain, saggar firing utilizing eggshells and kelp, electric fired lichen like surfaces, and glaze testing that produced unusual ceramic colors that were toxic, non-functional and undependable but, thank goodness, very interesting. My current work is functional, plus microwave and dishwasher safe. Is this what happens when you become a grandmother?
