So graceful in water but so comic on dry land this seal pup perfectly captures the loveliness of these creatures. A sculptural ceramic piece using the raku firing process.
The size is 12cm long (4.75 inches), size might vary due to the nature of the process.
Raku is a very difficult technique the piece is taken out of the kiln whilst very hot and dropped into a bed of wood shavings and sawdust, the crazed finish is determined by experience and timing, but every piece is different.
