Sea-Green Soap Dish

Sea-Green Soap Dish
white clay; mint creme glaze with celadon over; 8" wide by 1" tall
Gift to the Collection of Ms. Molly Grabowski of Pacifica, California
I asked my family what they wanted in ceramic and my sister in law said "what do you have in the way of a soap dish?" I dont know if she was kidding, but I made her one anyway.
I made this on the wheel as a small plate and then cut off two edges. I also took a thick slip and added lines down the middle to secure the soap.

  1. holy crap rose. i finally got around to visiting your blog because i have extra time in an internet cafe in kisumu that costs 1 shilling/minute. you weren't kidding about this pottery thing! i am duly impressed (and a little concerned... how much time do you spend playing with clay compared to, say, interacting with human beings?). i might have to quit and come back to america early so i can have you make me something. or you could just bring me something to ethiopia, i'm sure it won't be very heavy.
