Last night’s supermoon gives us a great opportunity to feature these lunar like polymer constructions from Donna Greenberg.
Her bowls have progressed over the last six months from palm-sized spikey cups to larger, shallow vessels with spiraling textured interiors riddled with holes. This 10-inch wide one she calls Viral Spiral.
Donna’s documented her lunar explorations on Facebook and Flickr. Her work has encouraged others to revisit polymer bowl designs as Donna moves on to incorporate metal clay into more complex designs.
She collaborated with metal clay artist Kathleen Nowak Tucci for the series of small bowls that were featured on the cover of the Fall 2014 edition of Metal Clay Artist magazine.
Kickstarting Oozeq
Oozeq has 5 days left to raise the seed money that will help launch production of its starch putty that can be used for hollow forms. Manipulate the putty into any shape and bake it hard. Wrap the baked shape in polymer and bake again then soak in water to wash away the putty.
Kickstarter tells the whole story and you can be in on the ground floor. Will you support this exciting development?

Donna’s work is such an inspiration, it’s so creative and I have loved watching her vessels creations progress. She has got to be a workaholic (thou I doubt she considers it work) She seems to always be coming up with something new and then totally exploring all the possibilities with each new creation.

I have also enjoyed following Donna’s progression and am amazed at her productivity! And her creativity! Always fun to see what she will come up with next.

Donna has truly found her creative voice ! She has a unique look to her work but still SO much versatility!
I got my OOzeq after seeing it demoed at the Clay ConnECTion retreat !!!! It is awsome and my creative juices have been flowing ever since! I “kicked ” in for this game changing inovation!

I saw some of Donna’s vessels in Malta. You know how some stuff is so great you just have to pick it up? You need to have a closer relationship than just looking? Not because you’re curious, but rather because it is speaking to you? That’s what her vessels do.
Donna Greenberg ,
Thank you all for your generous and thoughtful comments. It truly lifts me up. Each one of you is an inspiration to me on my journey.
