"Chicken And Egg"

Ceramic Salt and Pepper Shakers

Created by Dwo Wen Chen

The chicken and egg are wheel thrown, hand built and sculpted to create these beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces. Each face has a different expression, no two chicks are the same. The chicken and egg function as a salt and pepper shaker, with clay balls enclosed functioning as both rattles and breaking up salt crystals. There is a cork stopper inserted for easy refill of salt and pepper in chicken and egg. The chicken and egg is sold as a set. The glazes are food safe and dishwasher safe.

About this Artist

Dwo Wen Chen

"Clay is a very forgiving medium. I can translate almost anything within my imagination using my hands and clay."

Studio potter Dwo-Wen Chen describes his work as "undisciplined and whimsical". Born and raised in Taiwan, educated at RISD and now finds himself working in his studio in Pawtucket, Rhode Island for the past 12 years. He has incorporated both traditional and modern influence into his clay work and glazing techniques.

Dwo-Wen creates his pieces through wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. The glaze is applied carefully by brushstroke. Each piece is unique and no two pieces are identical.

Dwo-Wen Chen earned his Masters of Fine Art in Art Education at RISD Providence, Rhode Island. Although not classically trained as a potter, he sees no do's or don'ts in pottery making.
