What's so "test" about this bowl?
I never get the glaze exactly horizontal where one glaze meets the next. A new(ish) potter asked me how to do that, and I said I am unsuccessful at it. And I actually usually like that so it proves a human hand and eye made this.
No, the test being carried out on the bowl here is that it has a rolled lip. It may well have some air inside the roll, and I expected it wouldn't stay together. But it did. And it feels really nice, being light to handle though it looks very sturdy.

All those tiny imperfections make it so unique! I love it Barbara.
ReplyDeleteSo you know if an item is enclosed will it normally explode or crack if the air can't escape? I always wonder about that. I hand brush my glazes very carefully but I am sure they are not perfect. I have seen folks demo how they dip them but I could probably never get mine perfect either, shows it's handmade rather than machine I think that's better.
ReplyDeleteYes, that was the expectation, but I'd seen someone on a blog who did it and didn't punch a hole to let air escape...so that was the test. Thanks for all your comments!
