Rhonda Hampton: Gorgeous Pit-Fired Pot

23 Nov 2011 221
Last night, while looking through the photos I'd taken at the Clayfolk art show, I discovered that I'd overlooked one of Rhonda Hampton's pieces! I was initially saddened when I thought I'd missed taking any pictures of her wonderful pit-fired pots, because they are so different from her stoneware. Rhonda's lovely mugs and candle lamps have a much more tactile, "must touch" feeling and appearance, wheras, her pit-fired pots are delicate looking treasures which, in my eyes, belong as a center piece in a gallery or upon a pedestal in a fine home. I love this piece so much, with its beautiful many-hued colors and wonderful detail. It positively glows, and demands moments of study to properly appreciate it. Each of Rhonda's pit-fired pots had me wishing I could turn them around to admire every inch of their surface. I will have another artist's pieces in place late this evening, but I wanted to include Rhonda's now!
