Blue Sky Porcelain is owned and operated by Chad and Sara Lund in Port Angeles, Washington.
Original Blue Sky Porcelain vases are created that incorporate designs of the human face. All work is from wheel thrown and slab built originals, and features a woman's, man's and/or child/s face in each design. Every vase is created, finished and signed by either Chad or Sara.
Their work includes a white porcelain line which is high-fired at 2400 degrees. After each piece has been bisqued, they wax the faces so that they remain unglazed. This creates the two textures on these unique vases. A second line of porcelain vases is pit fired and made in a similar manner as the white, however the finishing process is different. They glaze the inside with a black glaze and leave the outside unglazed to create a rough outside surface. After 2 kiln firings, a gold luster is applied to the hairline ( found on most sides of the faces ) and then the vase is fired one more time. Finally, Chad pit fires the vase. Each piece comes out with its own unique blends of brown, tans and black tones.
Blue Sky Porcelain vases have unique variations of woman, man and child faces. They try to capture the bond between mother & child, man & woman and family. We also have a selection of vases with just the woman's and child's face alone. Chad and Sara work out of their home which they share with their 9 - year-old son Jacob and cat Kiki. Each piece is individually crafted by the artists with pride and attention to detail.
