Mugshot Monday with Kristen Kieffer

This week we want to spend a little bit of time with this delicate little teacup by Kristen Kieffer.  This thrown piece was altered with a beautiful orchid stamp creating a lovely rhythm, and the process of stamping has lent a slight undulation to the form.  The icing on the cake so to speak is the wispy application of slip, which is highlighted by the rosy glaze breaking over the lacy texture.   

In three words, Kristen's work is graceful, soft, elegant, and delicious... oh wait, that's 4.   For more information on Kristen Kieffer and her large body of work, visit her website at kiefferceramics.com.
