Pottery, ~8" x 5"
$75
Recently, I have been experimenting with altering thrown pieces.
This blue flower was turned on the wheel and then altered or sculpted.
While I was carving in some of the detail on the petals, I realized it
was beginning to resemble a Gloxinia. Gloxinias have a beautifully soft
and luxurious look about their blooms, and since I made this piece with
the intention of Raku firing, I decided to use matte blue Raku glaze. I
was hoping the matte finish on the flower would add to the Gloxinia
reference; I think it did. I love how this piece turned out. ~ Debbie Englund
