SEASONAL PUSH

Illustrated is a small group of "jeweled" tebori decorated terra cotta pots made during my seasonal push to get pots made for galleries and holiday sales. These are typical of the work in this idiom that I made with a serving bowl, a covered serving bowl and a v-bowl, thrown out of terra cotta clay, black slipped, carved and then having slip trailed dots added. There isn't anything too complex here in design, form or technology but they were built for function and hopefully with some attention to aesthetics and certainly work well together as matching pieces. These jeweled pieces were one of five groups made for various venues including "It's Still Life", abstrakt resist, tebori and just plain old B&W slip trailed pots using about a dozen or so forms which still work well together even if the surfaces don't exactly match and besides, what possibly beats an eclectic table?
