Vase With Gray, Black and Turquoise
The clay is centered on the wheel.
Trenches are cut out of the centered clay.
The coils are inlaid into the trenches.
Coils of colored porcelain--I usually use several colors in each coil.
When you throw, your hands must be wet to prevent friction. This photo shows how liquid clay forms all over the vase. This vase is clearly not the vase in this listing. But the process is the same.
After a day or two, you skim trim the entire outside of the vase to reveal the design created with the inlaid colored coils. Once the vase is completely dry, the entire pot is scraped with a metal rib before the first firing. After this firing, the entire surface is sanded before glazing.
