Clay Fins, surfer's art

Ceramic fins made by a surfer ceramic artist located in San Diego area. Ted Gallup creates functional and non-functional ceramics primarily with hand building techniques.

He got inspired by the work of the fin makers Marlin Bacon and John Cherry and decided to give it a go in is own medium. I would like to get one to beautify my octogenarian walls.

Thruster Fin, stoneware clay with colored slip and oxide stain, approximately seven inches in height.

Hey Pedro, contact Ted. I believe that D'fin it's still available. It's pretty cool, he'll send it to you.
