Tara decorates much of her wheel-thrown work using stencils or natural objects to resist pigmented clay, painting around the objects to create surface textures and adding details with sgraffito technique (scratching off the slip to reveal the lighter colored clay body underneath).Top: 11 oz mug showing mountains. The other side could be decorated with a variety of wildlife of muscle-powered sports figures. and a 17 oz stein with a moose.
Hummingbird design on a round platter with handles, 11 ½" diameter.
Oval Platter with Elk and Hawk with Mountains and Aspen Forest. 14" x 11" x 2"
The oval platters have an attached foot ring and hanging wire so they can be hung on the wall as well as used for serving food. The raised foot lifts the platter off the table to function as a handle.
Pie plate with Brown Aspen Leaf design, 10" diameter.
Real leaves are used to resist the pigment and the veins are painted in after the plate is dry.
