"The chief source of art is man's pleasure in his daily work, which expresses itself and is embodied in that art itself."
William Morris (1834-1896)

How the doubles were made

The process of making the double neck pieces involves first throwing a form before cutting off the neck and putting it aside. A second smaller neck is thrown and allowed to set up. Then the smaller neck is attached to the original pot and allowed to set up.
Two different pots setting up.

This is the smaller of the two above uncovered.


Adding coils to the attached second neck.


Adding coils to the original neck which was cut off and set aside before the second neck was thrown and attached to the bottom of the pot.
Reassembling the original neck over the second neck.


The two necks are joined, spaces cut out between the outer leaves  and marks made for further sculpting.



This then is how all the pieces in the blog entry 'Seeing Double' were made although this particular pot is still drying and is quite a bit larger than those shown below. Once it is fired, we'll post more photos.

  2. Fantastically skillful and artistic pot.You should also go in trying to enjoy the experience. You shouldn’t go in here with the feeling that you have to get it right the first time.
    That’s a common mistake a lot of people tend to make. It’s due to the fact that all our life, we’re trying to make sure that we do it right.
    Don’t get stressed
    If you make a mistake, see it as a mistake and don’t worry about it
    Keep moving along, and encourage the movement of the clay, but don’t get hung up on mistakes
