Carbon-trap shino (cone 10) whiskey set. The bottle is approximately 16" high, the glasses being between 3 1/2" - 4".
A ceramic art and pottery blog about my personal work, concepts and ideas. My interests lie in exploring the reevaluation and revaluation of craft both through ceramic art and craft theory.

Even More Bottles Spring 08
These bottles were experiments with the form. They are primarily non-functional because of the narrowness of the neck. Also, they are heavier than I expect my later ones will be. Wheel-throwing the forms from a single piece of clay may necessitate the thicker than usual (for me) bodies. As I close the form to pull the neck a thinner body would be more likely to torque and twist. One solution I expect would work is to let the body dry, covering the upper portion to keep it pliable, before pulling the neck.
