Janine Schwendinger

My pieces are made with a stoneware clay body and are wheel-thrown, hand-built or a combination of the two. I do freehanded slip trailing, carving and sgraffito to decorate much of my work. Hand pulled handles and hand built appliqué are found on many of my pieces. Nature is my inspiration so you’ll find I incorporate it into my work both through images, as well as using things from nature directly in my work, such as a driftwood handle, or leaf impressions.
