2 vases, recycled clay. Thrown, carved. Reduction fired


These two small vases were thrown from recycled clay, bellied out when wet.  I added some faceting to the top vase after bellying out and carved into the surface beforehand.  Glazing used Phila / woo yellow on the upper vase and cream rust / sky celadon on the lower.  Some Phila ended up dripping into the interior of the top vase, creating a nice turquouse water fall into the vase.  I think both Phila and Woo yellow look great in reduction - kind of aged  and weathered with a lot of depth and texture to the color.
