Effie Garcia is known for her deeply carved pottery.  Each piece is coil-built, carved, stone polished, and traditionally fired. This bowl has a deeply carved double lighting design.  The jagged lines of the lightning are deeply carved into the clay at the shoulder of the piece.  Note the depth of the carving and how she has outlined the design with the clay for emphasis.  It is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Effie Garcia”.
