Padilla's process includes firing the piece at high temperatures, letting it dry for a couple of days,
removing the rough edges, and then applying a lead-free glaze creating the appearance of it
dripping before firing it again for a shorter period of time.
Currently Padilla divides his daily work time to several studios where he sculpts, paints and creates
new ceramic designs. He is now devoting his talent to the creation of fine sculptures in mixed
mediums and paintings which are not presented here.

"She has developed a fine sensibility in schematic and precise line drawings.
Ceramics is no easy medium for precise line drawings, yet Mara has mastered
her technique with brush and stylus and has been able to portray her life experiences with
unrivaled naturalness. We see her universe on parade in all of her stoneware pieces, whether they
be vases or plaques. Flowers, birds and geometric designs all represent her personal vision and
display her unique perceptions of the world."

Product Information
Stoneware
A very durable material, stoneware will last for years while keeping its original beauty. Each
piece is fired twice at a high temperature and finished by hand. Minor imperfections are
therefore a common characteristic of hand-finished stoneware products. Strict quality control
has been established to ensure you the highest quality possible at the best price.
Glazes
There are many factors that determine variations in colors that result from high-fired glazed
stoneware, many of which are a challenge to control. Therefore, each piece is unique and
there are often variations in color.
Only lead free glazes are used and the product is tested to ensure that there
are no traces of either lead nor cadmium.
