Pinched pods, shaped and carved. Reduction fired temmoku with clear and green over iron oxide stain. Recycled clay


I started off the 2nd semester doing some handbuilding. I built a wedging table so I could do some stuff at home in the garage. These two pieces are pods, made by joining two pinched pots together, and then shaping and carving out the holes. The shape and surface designs came about spontaneously as I was making the pieces. I wanted the holes and designs to give the pods a different aesthetic and light play from all the different angles from which the pieces are viewed.
