This piece is made from a black stoneware with an elegant surface texture. This intricate process begins with a cylinder thrown on the wheel from black clay. The surface layer is dried with a heat gun and then sodium silicate is applied. After undergoing another round of heat to the surface, the vessel is then shaped from the inside using one hand to push the walls out. This process breaks the dried layer of clay creating a delicate cracked texture over the body of the piece. The vessel is trimmed and undergoes two rounds of firing before completion.
Handmade in Northern Washington state
The surface of the vessel is left raw to highlight the beauty of the clay bodies used, the inside has been lined with a bronze glaze allowing the piece to hold water.
