Annie's Raku Sculptures are individually modelled in clay, bisque fired in the kiln, multiple glazes applied, then refired at high temperature, and moved while still hot to Raku container.
The Raku container is lined with
newspapers or wood chips which
burst into flame when the hot sculpture is put in. The smoke filled, airless container creates the distinctive nature of the glazes and finished sculpture.
Annie gets the inspiration for her sculptures from the faces and clothing of the different ethnic peoples she meets on her extensive travels. She also sculpts local Moab area birds and wildlife.
