I made a few bowl the other day, they were thrown a bit thick, altered to a more or less square form and then hacked at a bit with my home made fluting tool. What I ended up with was a squared bowl with intentionally irregular, diagonal flutes for a rustic look, then the bowl was dipped in white slip and then brushed to even out the surface. Once dry I am intending on glazing it in Oribe and then giving it a light using of my black glaze for a surface I am referring to as Kuro-Oribe even though it is not so in the truest sense of the term. I think it should end up with a neat surface and I am hoping to encourage some of the droozy effects moving down the diagonal channels. One step at a time, first it needs to make it through the bisque firing.
