ISRRAEL SANDOVAL

Height 7.5"

Circumference 20"

The surface of this piece is carved when the clay is still humid. That gives the design a deep mate design.

About the artist:

Now on his fifties Isrrael has been doing pottery all his life.  Recently, his more dramatic pieces are done as follows: when the piece is still wet he pushes little holes on perfect parallel lines and then when the piece is dry he fires it on a tent of wood covered with a plant pot to get an oxigen reduction firing, the result is an striking matte black pot.
