Crafts CouncilDirectoryLise Herud BratenMoon VasesAboutI really enjoy the repetitive movements and processes involved in making this rounded and elegant form, which seems both ancient and modern at the same time. Each one is similar, yet unique, both in shape, size, colour and feel. The meditative process of hand carving and layering glazes imbues the pieces with a sense of calm and softness, the different clays offers variations which can be both subtle and dramatic at the same time.
