Elisha Harteis

Nancy 'Nan' Jacobsohn is known for creating handbuilt white stoneware sculpture that often includes the horse as a central figure. Pieces are most often developed using a combination of slabs, coil building, and solid built methods. Using this technique she builds a solid form, when it has partially hardened she cuts it apart, hollows out the interior and then puts the piece back together. She does not begin with a block of clay and carve out the form.
