About the Artist: Natalie Boorman has worked with clay for the past 40 years, creating hand-built vessels using the pinch pot method. She finishes her vessels by burnishing, bisque firing in an electric kiln, and then either firing them in a pit or a raku kiln, both variations of what’s known as smoke firing.
