Artist: Stiles in Clay

This line of ceramic birds promises to possess an unmatched and unique palette of colors through a process called pit firing. When putting together a group of birds, Chris Stiles makes it a point to create a family. Colors may vary slightly from photograph.

This firing process is one of the oldest known techniques used by man. The birds are slowly eased into the fire and covered with wood, sawdust, seaweed and other burnable materials. As the flames and smoke lick the surface of the birds, rich colors start to appear. When the birds are pulled out of the smoldering fire, the individual personality of each bird is revealed.

Bird measures: 3" x 3.5" x 3"

Although each bird is unique, they share similar color patterns. Patterns range in color from blacks to grays and pinks to peaches with many shades in between.
