Prima Girafferina

Prima Girrafferina by Steve Lee Smeltzer, The Giraffe dancing like a ballerina.

Steven’s sculptures are made of high-fire stoneware and the eyes are made of porcelain clay. After the piece has dried, it is dipped or sprayed with an oxide strain which is partially wiped off before the firing process. The vibrant colors are achieved by applying acrylic paint, followed by a light misting of acrylic.
