Bakers

From www.janekaufmann.com

"I work every day in my attic studio making sculptures out of clay. After firing the pieces once in an electric kiln, I raku them in my driveway. Raku is a method of firing where red hot pieces are taken from a kiln with tongs and thrown in pine needles to smoke the clay. Firing this way is physical and exciting and I enjoy it a lot."

The artist calls them "Finger Puppets" but they reminded us of the love that goes into family traditions.

Noses are strictly fictional.
