Growing up surrounded by a family of artisans, J.S. Anderson diligently forms the clay by hand into tubes that feature colorful and imaginative designs. Cross-sections are cut from these tubes and carefully applied around the body of this cat sculpture. The cute cat stands on its hind legs in a begging posture, elaborated with the amazing designs that include the portrait of another cat located on its back. J.S. Anderson has worked for 25 years to perfect this millefiori-style technique, which has allowed him to create intricate and amazing designs on his sculptures. Each pattern on this sculpture is diligently designed by the artisans through a painstaking process to ensure perfection.
