The sound of horns resonates deeply with the feeling of the holidays. This polka-dotted penguin carries all of those feelings as the perfect little ornament for your Christmas tree. Made by local KC artist, Irma Starr.
Irma’s Starr’s artistic journey has been a trip back in time: she’s is a 17th century slipware artist. While viewing the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art’s famous Burnap Collection of ceramics, Irma fell in love with the slipware mermaid on a plate, by English slipware artist Ralph Toft, and has never looked back.
She is accomplished in all of the classic glazing techniques: combing, feathering, marbling, and slip-trailing. Starr has been commissioned by private connoisseurs, museums, companies, and the White House to create commemorative pieces.
