Bay River Pottery |
||||
Hidden away on the beautiful Bay River in
Bayboro, Candace Young has been making one-of-a-kind stoneware and Raku
pottery since 1981. Specializing in carved and pierced garden lanterns and
lamps, Candace has designed clay tools to create exciting textures and
shapes evocative of the natural environment of eastern North
Carolina. Candace also has created a unique method of arranging flowers that
anyone can use to make an free-form Ikebana arrangements and she gives free
flower-arranging classes throughout the year. She also makes Raku pottery
with a focus on "smoke painting" with feathers, horsehair and, upon request,
pet hair for memorials. Smoke painting is a process that involves handling
the pot at 1,800 degrees; the designs appear as the hair is smoked into the
clay. The studio is always open and is accessible by car and boat. Visit the
website or call for directions. Candace is always happy to demonstrate and
give tours of the kilns and processes.  |
