TWO SETS OF SIX OR A DOZEN DONE

In some respects, this snowberry design is somewhat new, combining sgrafitto and slip trailing and the majority of pieces that I have made have been plates, tray forms, teabowls and covered serving bowls. I decided to branch out a bit and see how the design works on various forms and along with a couple of covered jars, I made a series of a dozen bowls, two sets of six with the decoration on the interior and exterior. I think the design works well on the form though doubling up on the decoration actually is a bit time consuming and it took me a few bowls to figure out where I should start on the inside or out. In the end, I decorated the interior first and then flipped the bowls upside down to decorate the exterior which seemed to be the best way to complete the task at hand and after completing a few pieces, a rhythm emerges and the decoration moves along quite a bit faster than expected.
