Sponge Holder (Green)
Description
A potter with a painter’s background, Vicki Gill says she “fell in love with clay at first touch.” For her, the tactile impression is as important as the visual impression, so carving and texturing methods form a common thread throughout her body of work. The bluebirds on this sponge holder are made by pressing into wet clay with a stamp. The designs are then handpainted with vibrant underglazes and finished with a tinted transparent glaze that Vicki formulated.

She says her rescue greyhound, who comes to the studio with her every day, acts as her “sounding board” for creative ideas and inspiration.
