This is the piece I’m donating for the #KaaboClay Award later this month. It’s one of the first I made after developing my #WildClay #TerraSigillata surfaces. In making this type of work, I feel I’m bringing together my reverence for #nature and admiration of #AfricanDesign elements.
A couple of years ago, I taught a workshop at Harvard Ceramics alongside my mentor #DavidMacDonald called “Africa Adorned” named after the photo book by Angela Fisher. I glance at it regularly for inspiration.

Tiébélé village in Burkina Faso, home to the Kassena people. The Tiébélé royal residence is made up of clay houses hand-painted in different geometric patterns using clay paints. The patterns are an indicator of royal staus within the community. Another difference is the huts’ door sizes. The chief has the house with the smallest door, for his protection.
