New Vessels!

I've been busy making some new double walled vessels that are inspired by Islamic architecture and Gothic ritual vessels. I have started using earthenware, both white and red, along with terra sig as a glaze to obtain old worn, crackeled surfaces.  So far I am excited with the results I have been getting on some smaller pieces so I have moved up to larger, more complex constructions!

This image shows a partially assembled piece.


Cut and carved, glazed and waiting for the kiln! (shown upside down)


Second Vessel:

A second vessel, assembled, carved and with added sprigs, waitng final cleanup and glazing!

May the Kiln Gods and Fire Spirits be kind and treat them gently!!

(finished photos will be posted after firing!)
