Venessa Stella Skye Saggar Fired Vessel featured in Australian Ceramics Magazine July 2021

It all begins with an idea.

In the July 2021 issue of The Journal of Australian Ceramics, as part of a feature on Lismore TAFE graduates, Venessa Stella Skye's saggar-fired vessels were highlighted. Her work demonstrates the unique and unpredictable surface effects achieved through saggar firing—a technique where ceramic pieces are enclosed in a container with combustible materials during firing, resulting in distinctive patterns and textures. Venessa's pieces reflect the atmospheric mystique characteristic of this method, showcasing her skill and creativity developed during her studies at TAFE NSW Lismore Campus.
