HP Pelzel & Sandra Boyd Pelzel "Free Form Bowl" at the Joyful Jewel 6-6-13

"Free Form Bowl"
HP Pelzel & Sandra Boyd Pelzel
Pottery, ~ 6" x 4"
$25

          HP and Sandra Pelzel told me that this bowl was formed around a balloon!  The design was carved into the clay and then the piece was laid around the balloon.  As the clay hardened, the balloon was popped and the shape was further worked until the makers were happy with the free form shape.  I love the funny, lilting shape they decided on.  Seems just right that the natural clay color is offset with darker highlights and muted green interior.
