This bowl is 3 inches tall and 4 inches wide, which I threw using vashon red clay and then, after the bisque, painted on sworls with porcelain slip and then dipped in clear glaze and fired. With this bowl, I continued to develop my understanding of how clay can be manipulated to achieve certain effects, and how different types of clays need to be treated differently to get similar effects. I believe the light color of the porcelain slip lines on the bowl contrasts well with the bowls deep brown color, and creates dynamic movement within the project. When I look at this bowl, I am reminded of white clouds over dry desert land, and the importance of those two elements in clay and ceramic art.
