Wow! I am absolutely enamored with her work; so graceful, so light, and colorfully beautiful. I am unsure about how she attached the flowers, as I am pretty sure that the stems are nort made of ceramic material...Is there a way to fire metal with the clay so as to bend it after firing, or do we have to just make holes to run the wire through and attach it another way? I have thought at times that I would like to incorporate wire, or metal in with the ceramics; and, now that I have seen Jessica Knapp's work I can hope that it is possible,I will investigate further,or you can let me know at some point :)
I'm guessing the flowers were attached after the firing. There are some wires that you can fire but this piece looks as if it would make more sense to attach them afterwards. If you'd like to explore this lets talk in class.
