STACKED III

Illustrated is a teabowl from my most recent firing, yesterday in fact, glazed in one of my Oribe recipes, it is decorated in a colliding rain pattern around the bowl, top and bottom. This is probably one of my favorite forms to throw whether it is for teabowls, serving bowls, covered jars or even vases, getting the proportions and curves just right without the piece collapsing is fun and takes one little focus I can muster while listening to some loud tunes of the "boom-box" just a few feet away from where I throw. I enjoy how the pots appear like there are just separate components stacked on top of one another and once completed they feel nice in the hand in large of smaller versions. At the end of the day there really isn't anything too adventurous about the form or glazing but sometimes that is exactly why a pot is appealing, well that's the hope anyway.
