At this point it may come as no surprise that I like
texture and using it to help articulate and animate a pot. This particular revisited
texture seen as both greenware and
"green ware", is something that I first tried my hand at way back at
Cleveland State. I really like the sense of geological layering that it
resembles and it truly has its own unique feel in the hand, every layer, crack
and separations speaks to the hand as well as the eye. In this particular case I
used the iron based stoneware that I have been making up in small batches and
glazed it in one of my Oribe variants to allow the clay to speak through the
glaze without any interruptions. As you can see the interior is as smooth as
ever and unimpeded from the intent of the bowl but the exterior is as great a
contrast as I can remember in recent memory.
