This vase is made using a buff stoneware with the pinch and coil technique. Shades of blue are laid over, but instead of chaos, it hits a note of calm. The size of this one makes it hard to pass by, it is a statement of cobalt, turquoise and sky. It unfurls from a proportionally narrow base, opening generously at the top.
The piece is built from the bottom up- coil by coil. The outside of the piece is rippled, the effect of my thumb joining each coil to the one beneath it. On the inside of the pot, you can see the demarcation lines between each coil as the piece was constructed.
The silhouette of these pieces was meant to be of undulating curvature, almost like a graphed wavelength. Each piece is unique and one of a kind.
