Fine Equine Ceramics

The medium of slipcast ceramic allows a sculptor not only to reproduce an original sculpture in a stable form, but also to use a full range of underglazes, glazes and overglazes to enhance a sculpture with durable color.

At Laf'n Bear, we cast a limited number of ceramic pieces each year. With the exception of occasional small "annual editions", each ceramic piece is painted a unique color and pattern.

"Studio Unique" is a term I've coined for the one-of-a-kinds painted here at Laf'n Bear Studio.   Such work is generally considered "custom glazing" in model horse competition. In fine art terms, each piece is one in a series of work.

Production is limited to only a few pieces per year; each is now numbered in sequence of casting and initial bisque firing. Pieces produced early on were simply signed and dated.
