I was digging through some
old files on the hard drive and found this video that I made quite a while back
of me slip trailing a small bowl. The bowl is terra cotta to which I then brush
a layer of black slip over before trailing white slip in a design I have been
using since my Cleveland State days. Based on one of an array of fantasy
characters that I came up with while doodling on my hour long train and bus
trek from home to the pottery studio, this and several other devices find their
way on my work in a myriad of approaches. The illustration, though not of this
bowl gives you an idea of what the finished piece looks like under a clear
glaze and how the design is situated on the pot to look like you are looking
through a hole in the wall with the decoration disappearing off the edges. It
is a short watch, enjoy.
