4 - Wheel-thrown & Hand-textured Art (6)
Created on: April 19, 2019
For vessels like the “Sunflower,” I create the textures by deeply impressing patterns into thrown cylinders. Then, working from the inside only, I expand the cylinder to create the final form. This technique allows the pattern to evolve as the clay twists and expands. As the pattern adjusts to the shape and function of the vessel, it becomes reflective of nature’s adaptation to form.
