Danica Wichtermann’s
creative process starts its humble beginning on the pottery wheel. Mounds of porcelain clay are shaped into forms that serve as canvases for intricate carving and line work. Impressions from nature inspire textures and patterns that are meticulously carved into the clay and inlaid with color to create striking contrasts.
Each piece is carefully glazed and finished to perfection. They are not only works of art but also functional, durable, and safe for everyday use.
“I am in such awe of nature’s creations and the beauty that surrounds us. I am particularly drawn to our unique flowers, those that can be overlooked or hidden away. There is something special about trying to capture the essence of a thing of wonder.”
