As I was throwing large spherical bottles and vases, I was imagining the final firing and visualizing the path of the the flame around the work in the kiln. Instead of having bottles next to bottles I wanted to create a wall that stopped and changed the path of the flame next to my piece.
I wasn't planning on keeping these "walls" but I am so excited about this new form! Not only will they change the path of the flame, I am hoping they will leave a beautiful history of the firing on the wide canvas surface I have paddled and carved down by hand.
