Storytelling through the art of ceramics
Asant is an expression of life, emotion, experience, and observation synthesized and manifested though clay and creativity. Each piece tells its own unique story
The plot of this story is simple
-
Form
rounded shapes crafted from stoneware; throw on the wheel. These shapes appeared naturally through hands. Sometimes I wonder if it’s my blood line that attracts me to plump and round forms. In Ghanaian ceramics, you will often find rounded forms in vessels both big and small.
-
Texture
An exploration of techniques and expression. Various tools are tested before finding the one that delivers the perfect stroke and crispness. Patterns engraved at various stages of the clay. Emotions and experiences released at the movement of the hand.
-
Glaze
Spray glazed to add a precise, controlled, and delicate touch. Dip glazing engulf a vessel, having its way with the results. One method is vital to preserving texture; one method is a means of freedom. A variety of color is birthed from the chemistry of glaze.
