Anyhow, this was coiled, so it went together pretty easy, then I spent a lot of time smoothing. No warps, its round! Learned a lot doing it, I've not worked this big before! Almost 20 lbs of clay in this thing~I'll have to throw it on the scale and see what finished weight is. But tonight I box it up and off it goes!
THIS one is finally DONE, it came out nice! This is a custom order from the end of December, 16 inches across and 6.5 inches deep. White clay, satin white glaze. I've decided I hate this glaze, its really more of a cloudy white that really lets things show through. And it shows brush marks, and if you get it too thick it sort of crawls in the firing. Or maybe I just had the pot too smooth.

Clay has always fascinated me, its many colors and textures, the shapes you can create using it, even the feel of it squishing in my hand. Even after years of playing in the mud I find myself exploring new ideas and I hope my work shows this. Archives
