Mike
Milgram has developed an interesting new ceramic
technique that he calls shatterfrags.
"This collection extends my exploration
of shapes and geometry into another medium. ShatterFrags™
are fragments of glazed pottery. Drop a thin slab of dried clay
onto a firm surface. It will shatter into pieces, some of which
have interesting shapes. Each selected piece is further fashioned
with file and sandpaper to develop its pleasant profile, and a
small hole is (very carefully!) drilled, positioned so that the
"frag" will eventually hang in a pleasing orientation.
Surviving frags are bisqued, glazed on both sides and fired (sometimes
twice). After stringing, the process is complete."
