Large wheel-thrown ceramic pot. It was shaped to have two openings at the top, & was carved to create a unique & decorative pattern. The glazing was done in two steps, & the resulting pattern is called carbon trapping. It has a heavy base (it weights 5 lbs). HOW IT WAS MADE Each of the pottery pieces I make are unique. I generally use the wheel, & create the initial shape & form, & I use a variety of clays (such as porcelain, bmix, & some dark clays that look beautiful when fired). I then trim the pieces, & sometimes carve into them, before finally, glazing them. This vase was thrown on the wheel, using a bmix clay. Once bisqued, I covered it in shino glaze, left it for a few days, before washing the glaze off. I then recovered it with shino, & fired it in a soda kiln. This results in a pattern called carbon trapping. This is a one-of-a-kind piece.
