Beautiful, yet gnarly. Colorful, but dull. Rough and smooth.
Nestled in the hillside surrounding Sage's home and pottery studio, lies an array of natural materials to be foraged. With a little attention and a lot of curiosity, she crafts wild clay, pigments, and various plant fibers into functional wares of the home. This clay is more than a medium; it is a connection to the land.
Each piece goes through a series of careful steps, with the clay being minimally refined and then delicately layered over multiple firings. This method allows the clay to meld together, transforming into a beautifully finished textured surface that reflects the depth and character of the location it was gathered from.
Tick Hill’s exposed rock face; the location from which this wild clay was collected in Wallowa, Oregon.
