Fagin, Ferret Sculpture

 Fagin the Ferret Ceramic Scuplture

Meet Fagin the Ferret, the slinkiest, smooth-talking “entrepreneur” this side of the woods—always ready to flash open his oversized coat and offer you totally legitimate, absolutely-not-acquired-through-questionable-means treasures. From pocket watches to pearls, if it once jingled in someone else's pocket, Fagin probably has it for sale!

By his side is his loyal associate, Niblet the Mouse, a wide-eyed little mastermind who specialises in slipping through keyholes and “borrowing” shiny things. He’s small, adorable, and somehow always chewing on the one key Fagin swears opens something valuable—if only they could remember what.

Perfect for anyone who appreciates handcrafted mischief, and a duo who definitely shouldn’t be left unsupervised near your jewellery box.

 ► Sculpted entirely by hand from ceramic stoneware clay, fired to 1200 degrees and finished with oxide washes, glazes and acrylics.

► Dimensions approx - 13 inches tall

MY PROCESS

I hand sculpt all of my pieces from ceramic stoneware clay. Either via coiling or slab building techniques. 
Each piece is then dried until leather hard and the clay can be worked on and details added. Further controlled drying takes place to ensure a piece doesn't crack and all the moisture has evaporated.
A first 6 hour kiln firing takes place up to 1000 degrees C then cooled down so decoration such as oxides, underglazes and glazes can be added. A second firing over 8 hours is then done up to 1220 degrees C and finally once cooled I finish many of my pieces by hand painting a cold finish such as acrylics and lustre.

Each piece is carefully constructed and decorated making each one completely unique to you!

Thanks for stopping by my shop.
