PROCESS

Ashley Hinton is a graduate of the visual arts program at Rice University.  She hand throws every piece at her studio, Hickory Clay, in San Francisco.

Each piece begins as a solitary lump of clay.  It is slowly wedged, centered, and thrown into large vases and platters. 

Once dry, these pieces are trimmed and hand finished before applying glaze.  The raw copper and cobalt carbonates transform into the glassy blues and aquamarines you see here.

Commissions are encouraged.  Please contact Ashley directly to discuss design.
