Jackie Apessos 9" Watcher on the Neck Face Jug DP6039

After a couple of local classes to learn some basics, Jackie Apessos taught herself everything else from there.  Some work is thrown on the wheel and then hand sculpted, while other pieces are completely built by hand.  Almost everything has a face. Because of significant challenges with her vision, she works mostly with smaller pieces, as she needs to hold them in her hand under intense light, and work the clay using shadows as her guide.  Jackie derives so much joy when working with clay.  Oh, and she loves to collect and make creepy faces.

One of the more unusual pieces in the group, this jug features a small head stopper perched on the neck above a larger vessel body. A vertical row of teeth emerges from the side of the jug, giving the piece an eerie yet playful character. The earthy bronze glaze creates a weathered, almost archaeological appearance. Apessos uses asymmetry and layered forms to create a jug that feels both ancient and contemporary.

This one is 7" tall (with topper) and 7" without , about 4" wide and has a 3.5" base.
