Michelle Grimm // Wood fired vase

Vase measures approx 4" Dia x 7.75" H

Michelle Grimm, a talented ceramic artist based in Vancouver, employs atmospheric firing techniques to craft unique pieces that instill any space with a sense of organic beauty.

Michelle Grimm and Mended with Gold's collaboration celebrates each piece’s unique journey through the firing process. The kiln is an active participant in the firing processes, leaving behind ash deposits, warping, flame imprints and cracking. These are not to be considered flaws but rather a part of each piece’s inherent beauty.

Prior to its Mended with Gold repair, this piece had been fired in a wood kiln for roughly 40 hours and naturally glazed with wood ash and the atmosphere of the kiln, leaving behind a unique texture and pattern on the surface. The entire firing process from loading, cooling and unloading takes 8 days.

Care: Holds water. Hand wash only. Please use caution when placing any ceramics onto delicate surfaces, as condensation may naturally occur. It is recommended to use felted foot pads to allow for air circulation under the vessel.
