Spiral Loopy Piece

The first half done.

 The two halves put together. 

I was making a terracotta piece then I had an idea of doing a half terracotta and half stoneware then it adapted to a piece that with each layer of loops went terracotta stoneware terracotta stoneware etc. Then it when to a spiral of two clays in a loopy piece. I didnt know if it was possible but I had faith that it would work so I tried it out and after 8 or 9 hours over 2 days it was finished. It was starting to fall apart a bit but I kept them moist and then when I plucked up the courage I then joined the two pieces together and I am so thrilled with the results I have just got to clean up the joins and other bits then hope that it survives the journey to Colchester where it is going to be fired at.

Medium Loopy Bowl With Black Slip


Although I used black slip when covering it in clear glaze it turned a streaky murky green colour. Earthernware clay.

These pieces are designed to be hung from a tree in a garden. They are made from stoneware clay with a white glaze with a brown speckled effect.
