Thunder Eagles I & II … $550 (each)

Birds are one of my favorite subjects especially eagles and combined with a southwest design makes these  double favorites.

These works feature a southwest inspired interpretation of the familiar thunderbird symbol. Thunder Eagle I, features a contrasting black and white design palette and Thunder Eagle II, features a vibrant multi-colored palette. Each Thunder Eagle measures approximately 18” by 20”.  They were created by hand from an off-white earthenware clay body and each consists of over 50 individual ceramic pieces. They were bisque fired to cone 04 (1945 degrees F), then glazed with three coats of low temperature glazes and traditionally glaze fired to cone 06 (1828 degrees).

Here are some “in progress” photos as I was working on each from design through completion.
