I think there's a lot of people on that side, here.Welcome to the pot side
Ummm, I live in Portland ya know?I think there's a lot of people on that side, here.
The walls are a little on the thick side for a pot of this size. At least I think so. I didn’t know how to adjust the slab roller to a thinner setting. I will ask tomorrow at class.Nice....very nice. The height and width are balanced with well proportioned clean fitting feet. The drainage holes are placed well. I like the clean line appearance of the sides...like a formal setting. Some smaller diameter wire holes in the bottom would be a nice addition for future pots.
Does it take a longer time to dry a pot with walls of this thickness? (The sides seem thick...it may just be a photo illusion though)
Yeah, I tend to be on the conservative side when it comes to glazes. I prefer matte glaze and in fairly classic colors. No speckle-dy stuff for me. I do like effects that you get from the way glazes interact with surface elements. There is a dull cream that breaks with bits of iron oxide on edges. That might be interesting...?The glaze. I’d keep the glaze simple and allow your chopstick indentations to provide light and shadow areas. I’d probably start on one end in a blue green tone and end on the other side with most a green tone. I would get carried away with any speckle treatments or other diversions from the character you’ve indented the pot with. Let the light and shadows make the difference.
