New Work from the Wood Kiln

These works are thrown in one piece with the wall folded or collapsed in a controlled manner to get the shoulder and the neck proportions. The bottom of the body is trimmed while upright to a point completing the shape and allowing the piece to rest off axis to the base. The base is thrown separately with trimmings placed around and on the work.

These pieces are thrown much like an amphora, and the resulting shape is has similar proportional qualities.
