Jill Solomon hand builds with white earthenware clay. Terra sigillata (a fine-particle slip, or, liquid clay) is applied, then the piece is saggar-fired (saggar: kiln firing a ceramic object in a fireclay clay container, the saggar).
Solomon’s influences include her South African childhood, and the geology of coastal Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island of eastern Canada.
