B+SSH+FP


Each and every project has a distinct beginning, some stuff happens and then there is a finished project, in the case of this illustration, this is the beginning, the pieces parts are thrown and a slab is rolled out, nothing much to write home about. The thrown cylinder will be cut in half to form a pair of ewers with the two "spouts, the furthest to the right being the preferred parts to be attached, the third spout will be an emergency back up or used for seams and ultimately for the feet of each piece. The is nothing fancy to the beginnings but I have seen a number of simple and unremarkable beginnings turn in to some rather dramatic and eventful pots. I am not saying that will be the case here, rather I need to get the parts set up and then comes the "some stuff happens" part and we can go from there. I know I am going to cover the pieces in thick combed slip and an Oribe glaze so at the very least some of the details have been sorted out. I'll post the finished project when they are glazed and fired.
