This bowl is 3 inches tall and 4 inches wide, and thrown with seamix and vashon red clays partially wedged together to create the swirls of different clays in the bowl. When I was glazing this bowl, I first painted on small details of porcelain slip along the lip and foot of the bowl, and then just dipped it in clear glaze. With this bowl, I learned more about how clays interact with each other, and how to carve away the surface of a project to show how the clay was moving inside of the walls of the bowl. I think that the texture I carved on the walls of the bowl and the contrast of the colors of the clay in this bowl unify this project around the ideas of movement, change, and synthesis of two things to become something greater. This project represents to me one of the times when I tried new ideas in my artwork, and was successful in carrying out that idea with some degree of unity and artistry in the finished project.
