RICH SURFACE TEXTURE

The piece on the left is another that I found very interesting. I really like how the surface is very bubbly looking and rough and I think the glazes go very well with it. The artist who created this piece said she likes working with rough materials because they make a crater like surface on her pieces.
The piece on the right was created by making a cylinder and then making deep impressions into it without distorting the cylinder shape. The piece is then expanded from the inside which creates the final shape of the piece and also the curved lines of the impressions. It was the artists intention to use patterns and textures that reflect the curves found in nature. I find this piece very interesting and I would love to experiment using the same technique of creating a pattern and expanding the clay like that.
