Illustrated is an oval
lugged basket form with an iron textured glaze on stoneware. The piece started
out round, has a hollow lip, was pushed up to make an oval form and once
leatherhard, the foot was tooled, carefully, and then notched to give it more
interest. Last, I attached a handle to either side to give the pot more movement
along the curved lip. Sometimes I become so blinded by the roundness of
throwing, I need to be reminded that there is much more that can happen to a
thrown pot, some with very little effort, yet changing the dynamic of the pot.
