Concept sketch for a tall, slender hydria-like form. I've made ram's horns before but have never used them for handles...we'll just have to see how that works out. Construction of this piece will probably follow the following sequence:
Build all 3 horns
Build hooves-feet
Build 3-D Ram head
Wheel throw 20" lower portion of the form
Wheel throw the top 5" of the form
Assemble top & bottom - allow to reach soft-leather-hard
Alter container to receive ram's head and horns
Construct head/horns/feet and rough-in line work
Apply slip for sgraffito areas
Define/complete carving & textures
Do sgraffito work
Seal/cover and dry slowly
