CuWave - this is my fave pot from 2005





you will not find pictures of me jumping on a trampoline. at all. but when i saw this pot i did jump up and down.
the pot is slab and coil construction with red vintage stoneware given to me by my mom. the red clay is groggy and terrific for hand building. The raised design i cut out of craft foam and pressed into the slabs before wrapping the slabs around 2 plastic apple juice bottles. (i like using found or recycled stuff for my forms) this is one of the first pots i put feet on, i was worried about the feet surviving, as they are tip-toe. the top part, i made with coils. this pc is bisqued in an electric kiln to cone 04 and then glazed with transparent green and brushed on birdbath blue at the top only and gas fired to cone 3 strike.
