Reduction fired, thrown and turned bowl. Recycled Clay. Light Celadon Glaze

Another small bowl from my first semester. You can see that the symmetry is a little off in the rim. Actually the thrown piece was originally quite bottom heavy with thick walls. While turning, I decided to play a bit and carved out the troughs in the external walls to take off some weight and to provide some texture. I also turned the inside walls at the bottom of the bowl to thin the piece. This is the first reduction fired piece that I made - I like how the Light Celadon turns an earthy green color and shows off the variations and spots from the recycled clay. My favorite candy dish!
