I learned how to throw pottery when I was in college and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Lucky for me when I moved to the Midwest I found a great place where I can continue to develop my skills. Ultimately I desire to share my pottery with others and it be my career.
Sculpture meets function in the form of a cup. |
Recently I've had an obsession with throwing the tiniest pots. I especially like it when someone is in disbelief that I actually threw it on the wheel. Surprisingly its more challenging then you would think. There is something magical about really tiny pottery. They cry to be held and admired.
I have a vision for my tiny pots! I want to make thousands of them, enough to fill an entire wall in a gallery. I'm talking a HUGE display of tiny precariously stacked pots!
Of course tiny pots have a practical use! |
I love the tiny pots! When they're stacked, they remind me of those water fountains made of the bigger pots. :)
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that before but they do look like those fountains!
