Hand built with coils and slabs, these cobalt blue polka dot vases and platters have a variety of shapes. They make a village in my mirrored space. As a village of polka dots, they shake and shimmy. Working in cone 5 clay, each vase is about 12 inches tall. They could hold a tall bouquet which I grow plenty of. These dotty images are clean and simple.
Previous collection of cobalt blue and white vessels were more like old milk jar shapes, larger with imagery simplified through my drawings, and then through a cyanotype process of simplifying my images of circus characters.
And the latest polka dot pots out of my newly repaired kiln this morning makes the group look like a bowling alley setup, but it is not.
