Sandi has been a ceramic artist for 22 years, finding her style and proficiency with the clay. Her love and appreciation for asian forms and traditions have inspired a natural development of her "Japanesque" style. "I love giving my attention to fine detail and seeking original new designs. The better I'm able to do this, the greater the demand for my work is.
- This tells me I'm in the right place, doing the right thing."
Origin of the Wishkeeper™
"When I was a child, my father would often travel to Japan, and return with small covered bowls which he presented as gifts. He would tell me that the covered bowl was a special place to keep my wishes; written and safe, until they came true...most often they did. My "Wishkeeper™" design has evolved from the spirit of my father's gifts and the novelty of his thoughts."
The Art
The pieces are white high-fire stoneware. Clean lines and soft forms drive my hand thrown work. In combination with metallic glazes, the carved and exposed stoneware creates a contrast that constantly inspires me. Bamboo and raffia work as the natural elements to complete and balance each piece between shaped and organic elements.
