A thrown and altered oval pot with a textured finish. Stoneware 360x270x85mm

Hi Pat, I'm intrigued, why/how is it altered?
Cheers
Kirky

nice,
Did you trim each divot or hammered to get the texture?

Ken

Beautiful, Pat. You've still used the ash glaze, if I am right (not sure from which wood), but you've got a step closer to the texture of some kinds of bark.

Lisa

Love the texture on this pot Mr PK
Cheers

Hi Kirky ... it's altered because it's hard to throw an oval pot, and secondly, I played around with the texture

Ken... all hammered!!!

Thanks, Peter

Lisa, lovely to hear from you. The glaze is a dry limestone glaze, sprayed from an acute angle to try for shadows, however....

I camped at Wee Jasper a few weeks ago and my fire was all casuarina timber. I collected the ash before I left and this is the glaze that developed from that ash. It still needs some tweaking but it's showing lots of promise. I'm showing the little test pot upside-down to better show the glaze.....and, before you ask, I didn't catch any fish

Cheers, Pat

Hi Pat, really love the glaze on that test pot

You had the wrong grubs on your line, when we were there a bloke caught four while we were watching, will send some curl grubs down for bait.

Hi Pat,
The glaze on the little pot is just beautiful, DONT tweak it.
Cheers

Agree with Marie, the glaze is beautiful on the little pot! Also like your original pot!

I watched this video the other day, so at least understand a little about what you're talking about. https://ceramic.school/phil-rogers-pottery/

Watching Steven's demonstration at the AABC Convention also opened my eyes. I certainly have a much better appreciation of how much you potters do to enrich our lives now.

Very sweet test pot Pat.
So a lot of ash and a little Feldspar, Clay and Silica?

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks, Pat. I can't see either what there is to tweak, IMHO it's quite a powerful toning - pardon that weird expression, I don't know how else to put it. And you DID get the shadows. As for missing out on the fish: you can't have everything! Bless you for trying lots of different things as they cross your path. BTW, I wonder what kind of ash fish scales would give?
All the best!

Thanks Guys.... Paul, what made you think I was fishing for carp??!?
