I've always been inspired by tales of magical creatures, especially dragons. Once I learned how to make things from clay it was clear that the world would get a few more of them.
Each dragon sculpture is 100% handmade, no slip casting. Each scale is applied by hand, each head and face is sculpted individually. The feet and hands are made with a handmade press mold and altered prior to adding. The bodies are wheel thrown. Food safe glazes are used for all functional dragons. I almost always start off making the face so I can see who it is I’m bringing to life!
Thanks for looking.
