Melanie Shaw Ceramics

Melanie Shaw's Ceramics explore detail and refining of decoration while alternately using low fire earthenware to integrate the beautiful color of the clay within the idea of the subject. She utilizes several oxidation glaze firings for works that include slip trailing, mishima, image transfer, decals, overglazes and china painting embellishment. Additionally, she works with a variety of mixed media dependent on the project or concept of the piece, especially in conjunction with the large-scale triptych works.
