Lately I have been exploring an overly decorated surface.
I have been carving and using impressions to create linear patterns on my pots.
Here are some of the first examples.
I really like the geometry in this pattern. I have been trying to replicate it more lately.
I love this knob. It was thrown separate and is hollow. It completely fills my hand when I grab the lid.
Here is the pot. it is the size of a large cookie jar, and I love the angles
This is what it started out as. it is a nice pot, but I wanted it to become something really noteworthy and "special".
Doing Pitcher demos for my advanced class. This is a 2 quart pitcher. The decorations were made using impressions, i love the inside because you can see the process, and it makes the clay seem alive.
This is a one quart sized pitcher that I carved linear elements into. I really like the proportions, but wish I had left the form change in the "plain" area smoother.
This is a slab-built box that I pre-carved. 8X5 inches. I'll be interested to see if the carving exasterbates any cracking or warping.
This is the beginning of hopefully me documenting the work I am doing. This should be good for me.
I am hoping to put up a separate page that links to finished work.
