An incense burner is not a particularly sophisticated device. You need a hole for the stick of incense, and perhaps a tray to collect the ashes, and that’s it. In fact, many otherwise worthless and pointless ceramic works have found renewed meaning and extended lives as incense burners. Put a hole in the head of a smirking dragon or the backside of a scowling gnome and they suddenly become functional works of art. But this series does not focus on recycling old figurines, rather it concerns creating your own work of art from scratch. The clay mushroom incense burner is a statement about you, your craft skills and your determination to live a free and easy lifestyle clear of the dominating influence of THE SYSTEM.
In this free series of hippie craft videos, our ceramics expert Melina Piroso demonstrates how to make your very own mushroom incense burner, complete with butterfly and bright green plot of grass (no, not that kind). Melina shows you how to choose the right colors for your new work of art, then guides you through the process of molding the separate components, then combining, decorating and ultimately cooking them before arriving at your delightful finished product. Bring on the bad smells!
Melina Piroso Melina Piroso was born in Argentina and raised in the USA. She studied Fine Arts at FIU in Miami, and Fashion Design at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Her art is surrealistic in nature, and while she can produce realism when needed, her artistic nature lends itself to imaginary situations. She worked as an in-house artist painting designs for children's furniture for ten years. Piroso worked as an art teacher at the Homeless Assistance Center in Miami, working specifically with children. She has also worked as a muralist, henna tattoo artist, and freelance graphic designer, but now works as a professional illustrator, and sells hand-painted children's furniture and gifts from her website.dkdk
