Vicious Vase

Earthenware Ceramics 

High Fire Glaze

This one is another personal project. The General concept was to have a normal vase with various hands and digits creeping out from holes.  This project was a great piece to build, but was also a great learning process.  Instead of using coils or slabs I hand built the body for this pot with chunks of clay leading to it being slightly lopsided.  Although I think it adds to the degradation aspect of the pot as it is being consumed by the monsters it is inhabited by.  I also created a process to make realistic boils in my ceramics when making this one.  The process was to stab the pot with a rolling pin or but of a tool then push back out the newly created indent.
