Earring material

A tribute to the textures of the Surf Coast. These earrings are hand-shaped from fine Australian porcelain and carry the imprint of a single weathered urchin shell I found on the Lorne shoreline.

I use the fragment as a tool, rolling its texture into porcelain thin enough to glow when held to the light. They're left unglazed to keep the raw, tactile bisque finish, and high-fired for strength, so they stay light enough to forget you're wearing them.

Details
