Pangas | Gothic Garden Vase

In Nicole Pangas’ words:

“I am a studio ceramic artist producing one of a kind functional ceramics and art tiles. I have a BFA in ceramics, painting and printmaking. I studied at the Cleveland Institute of Art, The University of Illinois in Champaign and the LaCoste School of Art in France. I was artist-in-residence, instructor and head of the vessel fabrication department at the historic Pewabic Pottery in Detroit. 

I work with a high fire white stoneware clay and work mostly on the potters wheel these days. I fire in an electric kiln to cone 10 as well as a high fire reduction kiln. I often glaze fire several times to get a painterly, unique and complicated surface on the ware. Electric kilns don't offer any atmospheric enhancements to the surface so I achieve this through mixing my own glazes and firing multiple times, sometimes at the same high temperature and other times firing in successively lower temperatures.“
