Trying something new!

2/13/2019

 
Picture
I've been experimenting with clay coils. I've done coils horizontally for such things as making a bowl or vase. But  here I made the coils vertical and of uneven lengths. The end result reminds me of a branch broken from a tree.

A friend of mine has been encouraging me to try making pieces using cone 5 glazes. I used such glazes on this vase and love the way the brown emphasizes the line of the coils, which contrast with the lovely turquoise interior.

7 year old cereal bowl broke at 2:30 pm today ....still in shock!
It is a slab bowl edges overlapping on each slab which makes up the 4 sides of this cute bowl. It is so organic with a square bottom
