Ceramics carving techniques
I first saw Eric Stearns' work on social media. He posted this crazy cool video of his piercing process and I was mesmerized! My interest in carving and piercing clay has never been high, but after watching Eric work, I knew I needed to try this. His piercing technique piqued my interest and inspired me to give it a go! In today's post, an excerpt from the latest issue of Pottery Making Illustrated, Eric shares how he meticulously designs, carves, and pierces his forms. Enjoy! – Ash Neukamm, guest editor.

Influenced by the patterns and styles of Acoma pottery, I explore the positive and negative spaces within the design and the clay itself, then build depth with the glazes. Precise application of geometric principles is exhibited in each step.
