A deep affinity for engaging textures and dimensional surfaces is signature to Wearstler’s work and her evolution of tile and stone designs in collaborative partnership with Ann Sacks. Wearstler interprets her iconic graphic motifs and anomalous, organic expressions in ceramic, encaustic, stone mosaic and marble through the indelible precision, high craftsmanship and quality intrinsic to Ann Sacks.
A spectrum of artisanal glazes is showcased in Fade, a new stoneware collection by Kelly Wearstler. Handmade in our Portland, Oregon factory, Fade exemplifies Wearstler’s enduring exploration into what is possible in ceramic art. Utilizing a skilled layering technique when applying the glazes and firing at high temperatures, the result is an enchanting ombre effect. Available in six distinct glaze gradients applied to 3”x9” or 9”x9” field allows for a combination of various graphic patterns when installed.
