The Finishing Touches given the CLAY Nativity robes are textures derived by embedding
relics from a family collection of antiques and other treasures. The collection spans 5 generations
and 3 continents of my family's heritage and heirlooms. The nativity resonates HANDMADE in the
USA.
Each nativity piece is hand formed. Beginning with a slab of damp white earthenware clay; forms are
cut, and the textures are embedded. The delicate slab is folded or drape, over a cone base. A body
develops and nativity scene takes shape.
Finger prints and “life lines" are this artist's immediate signature. The life lines are on the backside
where the "body" was cradled in one hand, while the other hand shaped the robe. Finger prints can
be everywhere... Dog fur sneaks into the clay, too. I try not to let that annoy me.
