RETRO-VIBE

Small covered cap jar based on exagerated bamboo nodes from a couple of firings back. This pot was thrown/ tooled and then covered over in a thin black slip before applying a thick white that was given the hakeme treatment. Once bisque the jar and lid were glazed in the soda blue for a nice light appearance which has a nice retro-vibe to it. This jar isn't too big or too small and and is part of a form group that I used to refer to whirling dervishes though this one is a bit more emphasized creating nice high points for the glaze to pool on. The past month has seen me bogged down in making terra cotta pieces just as I was getting a firm footing on the way to use this soda blue glaze which admittedly has its idiosyncracies and limitations. Even though it has been five years or longer since I last worked with this glaze at the end of the day it isn't exactly like I am starting from square one even if it feels like that on any given glaze day. Next step, make up 8000grams of glaze.
