Artist Statement: I’ve always enjoyed working on the wheel, I started throwing with small pieces of clay and gradually increasing the larger pieces. The most I’ve thrown on the wheel is about 25 pounds. My favorite thing to do is make large vases, they’re always a challenge especially when the clay is fresh and soft. I love throwing tall cylinders and use a rib to shape them into vases with large bodies and small necks. This piece in particular was made with black clay, the white glaze makes a really cool effect following with the dark blue glaze on the inside of the vase, this piece is about 13 pounds.
