The Mutare Vessel is a sculptural vase by artist Whitney Sharpe, the hands and heart behind Latch Key Ceramics. The high-temperature clay body is made from ceramic stoneware that is more mineral than terra cotta, lending the geometric sculpture a sturdy relic energy. This piece is more decorative than functional although perfect to hold flowers or other decorative objects.
Latch Key is a limited-run ceramic studio based in Oakland, California. Every piece is a meditation - delicately sculpted with intention and reflective of the present. Whitney uses clay as a vehicle to translate concepts via structure and form, lending the process of discovery to be imbued within each piece created.
