About the Item

Heather Binder's "Ash and Flame 2" is a contemporary wood-fired stoneware ceramic sculptural vase that expresses the artist's interpretation of fire - the elemental force that brings her work to life. Measuring 14 x 8 x 8 inches, the piece combines Binder's signature fluid, curvilinear form with striking linear detail. Deliberately placed green-blue glaze combined with melted ash across the undulating surface, draws the viewer into the volatile atmosphere of the Japanese style anagama kiln and its 144 hour wood firing from which this piece emerged, forges a direct connection to the final stages of this vessel's creation. Heather Binder is a ceramic artist and dedicated arts educator who is fascinated by patterns and geometries found in places most people pass by without noticing. Her upbringing in Rhode Island can be recognized as a significant reference for her sculptures. She holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, and an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Heather has taught art and ceramics in public schools for more than 30 years and is currently is a visiting critic at the Rhode Island School of Design. Heather prefers alternate atmospheres for her work and primarily fires with Chris Gustin in his Japanese style anagama wood kiln. She has been awarded fellowships and residencies from Arrowmont School for Arts and Crafts, Touchstone Center for Craft and the Pocosin Art and Craft School. Heather Binder’s work can be found in galleries, retail shops, restaurants and private collections around the world. Binder is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.

"Princess Aspen, " Ceramic Vessel
Located in Westport, CT
This glazed porcelain vessel by Jon Puzzuoli features a warm earth-toned palette with a crystalline glaze which creates the aesthetic of light blue "crystals" over the surface of the piece. It has a wide, curved, dark umber-toned neck. The artist's stamp is located at the base of the vessel. Crystalline glazes are special ceramic glazes in which zinc-silicate crystals grow inside the glaze while it is still very hot. The crystals begin as microscopic seeds in the glaze, which form in random numbers and locations. When the kiln is cooled to the proper temperature, crystals start to grow. In order for crystals to grow, the glaze must be very fluid. Much of the glaze runs off the vessel during the firing into a catch basin...
