Wet Bottle

wet in the studio... Tall Bottle
the wall in the background and the window trim
show the effects of the process of making these pieces...
they are thick with the splatter of slip as am I afterward...
a great technique for close up demonstrations!
I'm liking this one quite a bit...

Wet Lava Turner/Stump

Wet in the Studio...
A Lava Turner/Stump piece...
these always take shape after some drying has occurred...
the shrinkage "pulls" everything together...
as one always finding the "wet" pot the most seductive stage until after firing,
this came as a surprise to me... I have spent days
in the past thinking the table was full of junk,
only to see, after 3 days or so, the pieces were exactly what I was searching for...
new methods... new patterns ... new timings...
