This is another experiment in the 'green' range. My intention was to install 6 or 8 pots in various greens as part of my final exhibition for SITE. However, now that I am building the 7th & 8th pots in this way, and four of these vessels are 70cm high, I feel I am no longer enjoying making them. Recently I thought I would only make 4 tall pots and glaze them in the colours of the four seasons instead of the 'green' installation because I thought the glaze effects would be more challenging. Scott, my tutor from Sculpture, said I should do both!
I like these 'white' pots very much. They are made from Abbots white clay with the addition of earthenware clay in parts. This causes a frozen movement in the shape of the pot as the clays shrink at different rates when being fired.
