I was recently contacted and asked if I
made a specific item to which I responded that I do and made several in the
past few months and would find pictures and send them to them as a reference. I
will admit my skills at storing files and photos is a bit archaic but after
some searching I did find the photos as well as some others I had been meaning
to use. Back in October I had posted a photo and post entitled, LUTING which
was not necessarily meant to be a one and done post with some additional photos
which I have just now found. In this photo there is the before and after photos
of the luted trumpet vases and specifically the decorated B&W slip vase that
was made. The decoration is simple dots and lines which I use to enhance the
vertical nature of the vase as well as to divide it into segments
which helps to create a unified piece. At the base where the slip has run off the pot I
use a wood tool and with the wheel spinning I clean up the extra slip which in
turn ties all the stipes together at the very bottom of the pot, a small
feature that I happen to like. I try to be more attentive and follow up on blog
postsand hope this concludes at least one of the topics which I have started.
