low fire ceramic
sprayed on finishes
winter 2014-15
This is the most massive piece I have built to date. I don't think that bigger is better, and making large work requires a different skill set that may not be my forte. I had to be careful not to force it but I still wanted to take the risk of working larger. This was fun to build, and once the pieces were at the consistency where I could build with them I had to work fast to make sure it didn't dry out and become brittle.
This also marks the first time I am not keeping the piece monochromatic. I am much more excited about the notion of moving away from single colored finishes than I am about working large. Color is always a struggle and this seemed effortless so I'm not even gonna try and explain it. Regardless, as far as the size goes I am still trying to find that sweet spot.
