~~ ADDITIONAL INFO ~~

Per Creations Gallery.com/sara-meadows

Sara Meadows has been creating her whimsical, lovable “Balloon People” for many years in her studio near Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Each of her ceramic sculptures starts as a slab of red clay which is either wrapped around an inflated balloon, draped over a hump mold, or rolled up into a cone to create a variety of forms.

These simple shapes are then transformed by Sara into a broad range of subjects including barn animals, cats, dogs, and dragons.

Two kiln firings and the application of stoneware glazes complete the transition from clay to finished artwork.

Pieces can be displayed outside but should be protected from freezing conditions.
