Persistence, Patience & Practice

I have made several pieces where I’ve enjoyed carving out geometric patterns in the pot’s surface…this is my favorite so far. I really planned out the form on the wheel and I think the diamond patterning and deep carving makes the piece stand out visually. It took a lot of specific pattern planning, and hours of carving to get this effect on the entire vessel. I think the carved peace make the glazes really come to life in rich blues, greens and browns.
