NON PRAEVIDERE EXITUS

Illustrated is a detail shot of a thrown, squared and assembled vase form that I made and then glazed in a Kuro-Oribe style glaze. To be honest, what I like about working this way is that I rarely get what I am expecting from the kiln, in this case where the iron was sprayed via atomizer, it ran down the upper section of the vase and ran down the lugs on either side creating this feathery blue-black effect. I have to admit this is a perfect accent to both of the lugs and adds to the depth and movement of each side of the vase but moving forward I wonder just how predictable this would be. In reality I guess if I spray the living daylights out of the upper section or simply the lugs I am bound to get some extreme running of glaze as almost every glaze I use can be runny given the right circumstances. At any rate I won't complain as this works well with this somewhat wonky, thrown and altered piece and makes itself right at home.
