Umm, if I could fall in love with a semi-utilitarian piece of tableware then these would be in my bed with me each night. I had seen my glazing teacher do a bowl with this mint/red combination and that it had made some beautiful patterns on her piece, so I wanted to try it one something of mine.
I had made these little bowls in my apartment in September, during the month when I didnt go to the studio. I couldnt quite keep away from the clay :) These are just made from rolling out clay into a flat square, cutting slits on each side and then folding the corners upward.
The glaze is tricky - both the mint and red are VERY drippy, and the drippyness is magnified when one is on top of the other. That is why I only did that affect on the inside - otherwise it would have spilled all over the kiln. So the glazes dripped together down the petals/sides of the bowls and pooled in a really unique way at the bottom. This is definitely an affect I will use again
