Rose Hardesty

This series uses wild clay and found molds to explore the dynamic between high craft and low craft, as well as investigating our relationship with nostalgia. Clays from different areas in North Carolina are minimally processed and blended to create slips that maximize reaction with wood kiln environments. I collect vintage slip casting molds of animals that mostly would have been used in paint-your-own-pottery shops or by hobbyists using commercial low fire slips and glazes. Can changing the clay body and firing atmosphere transform and object from low to high craft, or is the object destined to stay in its original caste system?
