Gint Sabaliauskas & Regina Sabaliauskas

I and my wife Regina work with clay, making whimsical sculptures.

To create our work we use very thin slabs of clay which is mixed with glass dust, each detail is hand carved and joined together using liquid clay, finished work is dried and fired in high temperatures of 270f, after we paint it with glaze and fire one more time. The finished works due to high temperature firing have weight as fine china and structural tension as glass. This technique been developed in my family in 1950’s. For some work we use raku firing. I specialized in carving, Regina in painting-glazing.

We do not use assistants or apprentices.

To work with clay I started from childhood in my family’s studio in Lithuania. Our work was exhibited in galleries in Baltic countries, Germany, France.

In 1922 we started to live in Colorado and since we have studio here.
