Gaia’s Children

These little pots made of recycled clay hold three big hopes:

that the people of the world will cooperate to reduce global warming,
that we find joy in small things as we reduce consumption,
that we reconnect deeply with nature.

$1 from the proceeds from the sale of each pot is donated to CPAWS to protect Manitoba’s eastside boreal forest.

Permission to reproduce

Ceramic artists are permitted to reproduce Gaia’s Children on condition that at least $1 from the sale of each pot is donated to a local environmental project related to climate change. See production below.

Specifications for producing Gaia’s Children

Throwing. Use reconstituted (recycled) clay to throw small pots (2-3 inches in diameter) with narrowed rim. I use Tuckers 1080 porcelain clay and fire to Cone 10. You may wish to medium fire using locally available clays.

Trimming. At leather hard stage, trim a foot and incise the image around the belly of the pot as follows:

beads (using round incising tool)
legs as inverted V (using triangle incising tool)
arms that connect to adjacent arms.

Roll out handle and attach near rim

Glazing. Use a matte earth-tone glaze that emphasizes the incising.

Education. Insert a tiny scroll into each finished pot with these words:

$1 from the sale of this pot was donated to (your green project).
