Lyla Kaplan Pottery
Magic happens in the spaces between
I throw pots on a traditional treadle wheel, often adding slips and altering the form. I play with glazes and the kiln atmosphere to highlight the transformation that happens from the interaction between time, temperature, and elements such as oxygen and iron. I search for the magical, liminal space between oxidation/reduction, internal/external, emptiness/fullness, inhale/exhale, joy/sorrow, and function/experience.
