This is a little planter I made for Eric that holds a little patch of moss.
Spikefruit
March 2011 –
This is a fruit I thought of. The basic shape is coil-built, and then I added on the spines. The glazes are “fig” and “red 5″ (which has a lot of copper, hence the silvery edge to it).
Cactus/Celery Vases
August 2010 –
A pair of vases with celadon green glaze. The color reminds me of celery, except against this orange background they look like ribbed cacti.
Spines & Shino
August 2010 –
I made this ambiguous spiny vessel out of brown stoneware, with a shino glaze. I sprayed it liberally with water siphoned off the top of the glaze to give it more carbon-trapping powers. And trap it did! I really love how each little spine got way oxidized, and how it ended up with a perfect smoky rim. I also love how each spine has red around the edges from the raw stoneware. It usually doesn’t turn out that red. More views:
