Black, white, and gray with pops of red swirl around this vase. These colors are not painted nor are they the colors of a glaze. Rather, they are inlaid colored clay. I inlay the colors as soon as I have centered a ball of clay on the wheel. The inlaid colors are compressed so they don't separate from the base clay as I pull the walls of the pot. Since my fingers move in a spiral motion, the colors move in that direction, too, creating a wonderful feeling of motion.
This pot is approximately 8" tall and 5" wide.
