This bowl was made by slabs and a beach ball. I rolled out slabs of leather-like clay and pieced them onto the beach ball in rectangular pieces. After the ball had dried, I wanted to add texture to the piece, so I dipped burlap into watery slip and placed in onto the outer surface of the bowl. As the bowl fires in the kiln the burlap burns off but still leaves the mold of the burlap on the bowl. After the bowl was done being fired it was time to add some color. I sponged on different oxides and fired the bowl once more. This still was not enough, we added a yellow oxide by spraying it on it random areas and finished with a clear glaze. This project was fairly simple and different messing with oxides.
