Sculptural Ceramics & Glass
My education is American, the firing technique is Japanese, the glaze influences are from Morocco, and the forms are inspired by ancient architecture and vessels.
Stoneware
When working unglazed stoneware, Candone fires her pieces to cone 6. She uses a black, white, and brown stoneware bodies, which are instrumental in crafting her basket-like vessels and sculptures that are reminiscent of nature's own handiwork. Eschewing the use of stains or glazes, she allows her work to remain in its natural, unglazed state. This choice further emphasizes the tactile quality of the textures she so masterfully creates, resulting in a raw and organic aesthetic that is a hallmark of Candone's remarkable stoneware pieces.
Raku
Candone has devoted more than four decades to perfecting her craft in Raku pottery. This ancient Japanese technique has become a defining element of her artistic identity, and she's breathed new life into the tradition through her innovative approach.
New Collection
Glassware
Driven by a profound passion for color and a deep affection for glass, Candone has breathed new vitality into sculptural vessels. Each piece is painstakingly handcrafted from carved coils and fired to cone 6. Following this, they are cast in glass using the precise lost wax method. The resulting forms, colors, and tactile experiences eloquently communicate a language that is subtly powerful, making each piece a unique expression of Candone's artistic vision.
