{"product_id":"earth-tone-olla","title":"Earth Tone Olla","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis coil-built vase draws inspiration from Ancestral Puebloan ollas once used to gather and store water. Created in September 2024, it’s the first piece in which I combined coil building with wild clay terra sigillata. The surface motifs are rooted in my study of Bassa Kwomo (Central Nigeria) pottery but reinterpreted through my Earth Tone decorating slips.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis vessel represents the convergence of techniques and materials gathered over the past few years—from time spent with Zulu potter Jabulile Nala to a residency in New Mexico, where I engaged with the oldest ceramic traditions in North America. Its rounded bottom is a nod to a shared design language found in both Indigenous African and American pots. A glossy aqua glaze lines the neck, while the rest remains raw. More than a functional object, this piece is a sculptural tribute to Indigenous knowledge and the abundance of the Earth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13” diameter, 10” tall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece ships via UPS.
