Finally I get to write about one of my favorite projects. The three legged bowl was inspired from a picture in a handbuilt pottery book... but I strayed pretty far from the prototype.
The bowl itself is made of 213 clay from a slab technique with some "slapping around". The exterior was scraped with a serrated tool. The legs were rolled and after partial drying were also scraped with a finer toothed tool.
The attachment of the legs was tricky and you can see the method used in the photo.
Glazing the exterior of the bowl with Salt Buff with Plum Chun drizzled on the edge. The legs were unglazed.
This piece really pleased me and I will be trying other variations of it in the future.
