porcelain bowl with color brush strokes

These I made for pasta, but of course use them for anything. The color brush strokes are from an art installation in Boston. In the seventies, Corita Kent was commissioned by a Boston Gas executive to create this brush work swash on a gas tank off the expressway in Dorchester. With that in mind, i quickly brushed swashes of glaze over dressang shino.

I have 5 of these and 4 more in a kin waiting to be fired. I love these bowls

they are 9”wide and 1.75” tall

$40.00/bowl

hippie bowl

This bowl was fun to make. It’s stoneware with porcelain slip. this bowl is 7’ wide and 3.5” tall. The design comes out of the process of cutting the wall with a ribbed wire tool adding the slip and bowing out the bowl form without touching the outside design. tricky to explain. This piece was fired first with a orange carbon trap glaze. If carbon trapping occurs its wonderful, but when it doesn’t, it’s ugly orange. blah!, so I refired this piece in a soda kiln and it was transformed to a thing of beauty.

Beautiful marbled porcelain soda fired vase

This piece I wedged cobalt carbonate into porcelain clay until completely incorporated. Then I gently wedged white porcelain into the cobalt clay, maybe 6 or 7 turns. Than I threw the vase. Once completed< I trimmed the from which reveals the marbled pattern. Cool! ( I also have a bowl in this style)
