| INGRID ALLIK'S FIRE SCULPTURE
If you were on any social media platform last week and follow even just a few potters, chances are that you saw this incredible fire sculpture by Estonian artist Ingrid Allik. Built specifically for STARworks using local North Carolina clay, fired in a "petal kiln" designed by Allik's husband, and unveiled at the height of the firing on a perfectly warm summer night, this was a truly memorable moment at the recent Woodfire NC conference. | |
