Vessel II

Join me in my studio as I dance with the creation of the second vase in my "Loss to Love" series. This photo offers an intimate glimpse into the intricate process of crafting a large lidded vessel out of low-fire clay. You'll witness the labor and dedication that goes into hand-sculpting these elegant ceramics, each piece a testament to the evolution of grief into love.

Peak the meticulous craftsmanship and emotional depth that define my work. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a collector, this blog post will give you a deeper appreciation for the art of ceramics. - Jenna Laurel

Loss to Love

Jenna's most recent work is a series of three vases that comment on the connection between death and remembrance. Loss to Love shows the evolution of grief to love through molded and wheel-thrown clay vessels. Each piece is shaped and decorated differently to represent the nonlinear evolution of her experience with loss. The first vessel portrays skeleton figures embracing atop an earn style shape. The second vessel includes more ornamental appliques with young blooms protruding out the top. The third vessel is the most ornamental and lively with flowering blooms and lighter glazes. Loss to love is a memorial for the human experience of continually overcoming change. The vessels are presented on pedestals so the viewer can walk around to see all sides.
