Kristin Schoonover

Kristin creates her work by wheel throwing and hand building.  Most of the time spent on each piece is in the surface decoration.  All of the color is added using thick slips that she creates with colored clay pigments.  A background color is painted on, then hand-cut paper stencils are applied with a contrasting colored slip painted on top.  All pieces are dipped in a clear glaze and fired to cone 6 in her electric kiln.
