Is it funcitonal?

Yes! All Sarah and Pessia’s pottery is completely functional and is food, dishwasher and microwave safe. High fire cone 10 porcelain is the strongest ceramic material there is and is much longer lasting than terra cotta or low fire work.

HOw do you get those crystals?

Crystalline glazes take advantage of a natural phenomenon and show just how incredible chemistry and art can play together. The glaze contains Silica and Zinc powders, these minerals combine at 2350* F and spontaneously nucleate on imperfections in the clay. This starts the crystalline growth process. Just like a geode forms crystals when the molten minerals cool in the earth. The slow cooling is extended for long periods of time and rings can even form when held at slightly different temperatures. I only use food safe amounts of metal colorants like Iron, Titanium, Copper, and Cobalt to color my glazes giving my pieces a waterfall of interacting colors and crystals. Each piece is unique, one of a kind.

Were can i find your work?

You can find Sarah on the Patio in Spanish Village on the weekends or if she is taking a break, in the Potters Guild which is studio 29.
