Ceramics -- Sculpture

This untitled sculpture was formed using the coil and pinch method.  When leather hard, the surface was painted with white slip and black iron oxide slip and allowed to dry.  The glaze was Strawberry, which is a kind of Celadon glaze that highlights the surface of the clay.  Some of the most interesting parts are where the glaze pooled into a darker green.  It is 7 inches high and 7 inches in diameter.  My professor liked this work so much that he traded me for one of his teapots.  That felt good.
