Earrings made from terracotta clay
The shapes are hand cut and given unique markings by rolling across a textured fabric
A coal-black colour wash (a blend of cobalt and iron oxide) is brushed on before firing
Then a final coating of beeswax polish
The finish is a soft, matte, charcoal look and feel - reminiscent of the iconic Grass Tree trunks of Western Australia

Care for your earrings
—————-----------
Ceramic is a robust material when handled appropriately but will shatter if dropped from a height so care in putting on and taking off is highly recommended! Standing on a rug or leaning over a bench (say in the bathroom) while putting the earrings on is a good preventive to breakage.
