Eric Abraham's Flying Pig Studio

Our day just got more and more interesting.  We stopped at the Flying Pig Studio and met Eric Abraham who is from Denver, Colorado.  The main medium that Eric uses in his art is Porcelain with lusters but he also does work in stained glass and paper.  He is a very talented artist as far as we are concerned.  He was also very happy to talk to us about his art and his projects and offered us a tour of his studio which is also his home during the months he spends in Kansas.

Information About Eric


He does absolutely unique and beautiful work in porcelain.  I was thinking that he could make funeral urns and have another avenue of revenue.  I think they could be designed after the interests of the deceased.  I should have said something to him about it.


He said that he has sold several unique pedestal sink and mirror sets for homes in Colorado.  I can't imagine cleaning it but it is certainly artistic and too beautiful to wash your hands in.  I suppose whoever buys this type of thing has servants and lots of insurance!

The pieces above and below are a 
combination of porcelain and paper art.


The next post will be on the Bowl Plaza that is being constructed right now.  Eric has created the inside of the bowl.  He said it is blue water being flushed and is full of items that have been flushed down the stool - like fish, alligators, money, glasses, socks, etc. etc.  

Here is a picture of Eric and the bottom of the bowl.
More of Eric's porcelain creations.

This is Eric's kitchen.  I loved all the vintage kitchen appliances and he uses them!  The refrigerator has a chiller on top of the unit.  



I'm not sure what medium this is but it is one of his pieces.  His mother was also an artist and I think she had her studio in Santa Fe.  She painted old furniture and he had several pieces of her work in his studio.  His father was also an artist and he had a few of his paintings in his studio.  You can learn more about Eric at his website:  www.ericabraham.net.
