A creative glaze. and a very unique look: congrats. However, the forms should be noted as well: they illustrate your eye for proportion. This particular glaze would swallow up smaller forms: very nice work.

Thanks all!  These are part of my new collection and I'm still working to perfect it. Who knew it would take 35 years and counting!
 

All of my forms start out on a potter’s wheel and then I sculpt and alter the shapes to be asymmetrical. The textures come from multiple firings and layering of slips and glazes, and then a LOT of testing in various firing schedules…much trial and error. 

 

I'm trying to get organic textures like pebbles, stones and tree bark. I uploaded my latest tree bark example, I think it’s almost there. 

 

 

But the real evasive glaze that I can’t quite nail is a crater glaze with big crater holes. James Lovera had beautiful crater glazes but I think they are not so easy to find. So that one still eludes me, maybe another 20 years of testing?
