- Red stoneware; 7.5″h, 4″w, 4′d; thrown, altered and carved; cone 10 reduction.
This piece was thrown and the slab legs/sides were added. Then the walls were carved. The lid is slab built. I saw a similar design in a gallery and wanted to recreate it. It was fun to make, except the slab work takes too long. This jar had a little fat brother but its leg exploded during the bisque firing because the venting hole I made was too small. The surface treatment is iron oxide and Shino.

Originally it was supposed to be a pasta serving set… but also works well for salad.

White stoneware, wheel-thrown and altered, wood-fired cone10-11
This box was thrown on the wheel in one piece, then squared with a paddle and by a gentle directional slamming against the table. The feet and handles were added and the lid cut off when leatherhard. After bisquing the inside surfaces were glazed and the outside left unglazed.
