 Keren Navarro lives and breathes ideas. As president of Twig & a Feather, Inc., located in Carpentersville, Illinois, Navarro’s had a great deal of experience with American Clay and understands what it’s capable of doing.Treating American Clay like an artist treats his paints, Navarro is able to manipulate her medium into stunning works of art, her most recent piece featuring the Japanese Koi.The 4′ x 3.5′ piece displays the alluring Koi from above, swimming through a relaxed pond. Navarro used 8-10 different colors in Porcelina as well as some natural pigment mixed with water to create the black and brown eyes and then topped the whole piece with a protective wax finish.
The entire process took Navarro six hours to complete and resulted in a fascinating creation depicting the limitless possibilities of American Clay.
