Christian Aliferis is a beginner ceramicist who resides in Vienna, Virginia. Originally with a background in classical music, Christian shifted to visual art after a disability required an early retirement from saxophone. Christian is passionate about wildlife rescue, and he draws inspiration from the animals he works with. His influences are as diverse as Adventure Time, Christopher Nolan, Maurice Ravel, and the duck that lived down the street.

This one did not turn out well. I used the same exterior glaze as on the previous piece, but I used green slip on this which did not look good after glazing.
