Upside Down Cube


The inverted cube began as a slab experiment.  Along the way, I learned about the importance of building slab projects from a template (plans) as well as properly joining the pieces of clay.  Instead, to get proper adhesion, I had to "slap" the edges of the "top" with a wooden paddle to get them to merge.  This tended to round the edges... a nice effect!


The clay was impressed while wet with a circular pattern from a place mat.  Two coats of PC55 Chun Plum were employed as glaze.
