I love this bowl! it makes me want to do every piece from now on with this texture. I just know the glazing over that texture is going to rock! I took a workshop in Kansas city Missouri a few years ago and Mark Peters taught us this technique. I had forgot about it, but got one of my ceramic arts daily emails and...boom...there it was! I knew right away that I was going to do that bowl for this week. the technique is taking a stretched out spring and cutting off a thin layer of clay, then you stretch it out to the shape you want. the facets on the outside stretch and twist when you do this...its just hard because you cannot touch the outside! anyways it was a fun bowl that turned out very successful and inspiring.
