AMBER DRIP

Illustrated is yet another slip teabowl out of the last glaze firing. On this teabowl I used a thick porcelain slip over the stoneware and once bisque it was glazed in two different glazes. The way the slip was combed has engineered avenues for the glazes to run and pool in which has created a depth and variety to the surface that helps animate the bowl a bit. I attached a photo of an area which has an area of hanging slip which is now host to an intense and rich amber drip suspended for the lifespan of the pot, hopefully for quite some time to come. I enjoy the wide array of effects that come about through the use of teabowls as tests, each one has just a little something different to say.
