Tri-colored fruit bowl


This is one of my best most simple pieces. This tri-colored fruit bowl is a gently curved porcelain bowl. Until my next batch gets fired, this is my largest object sucessfully thrown. I think the reddish color is burgundy under shadow green.

This pleasant object is purple, peacock green, and something like speckled rust with texturizer. I accidentally left a small piece unglazed that actually looks kind of cool. Karen and I gave this to her wacky uncle Ron.

Tri-colored short pitcher


This pitcher is part of a set of handled objects I made in this batch. The handle is a little too big and feels weird in the hand. The spout was simplicity itself except that is kept me from trimming the object on the wheel because of the heigh distortion of the rim. So step 1 to making a pitcher is throw a perfect thin cylinder that doesn't need trimming (except on the foot. Then trim the pitcher on the bat so you don't need to rely on the irregular top edge.
