Nora Petersen: I am a floral designer and ceramicist based in Northeast Los Angeles. Original ceramic pieces handmade by me are the element of my floral design studio that is truly unique. My ceramic pieces, combined with a plant or floral arrangement, make for a unforgettable gift. I create my ceramic vessels using both hand building techniques as well as the slip casting process. With slip casting, liquid clay is poured into plaster molds to create the shape. All my pieces are high fired in a gas kiln. I use only seasonally available and locally grown flowers in my arrangements. Arranging flowers is about the eye and hand working in tandem; it is about color and form. It is also about respecting flowers as a living material, in my arrangements I don’t force, I work with the flowers and intuit the natural direction they want to take.
