Sang Roberson's terra cotta containers are extremely labor intensive wether hand-built from slabs of clay or formed in molds She paints them with terra sigillata (a fine slip of ball clay, soda ash and water used instead of a glaze) and burnishes them with a soft cloth after the bisque firing, then fires them twice more. The third firing occurs outside, in a nest of hay and sawdust. To see more of her work go to http://www.bluespiral1.com/Master-HTML/artist/robers_sang_10502/home.htm
