Red Ribs

Description

This is probably one of the pots I get the best feedback on. Many people really love this little guy even though it isn't my favorite.

Before making this pot I had been working on getting sharp edges on my pots and did pretty good with it I think. On this pot I decided to make a sharp edge but to also push down on the top so that it would sink in a bit but in a controlled manner. Usually if I or someone else tries doing this then the clay that bends down becomes very weak and collapses right there instead of holding its shape.

I actually made a second one of these that was bigger but its still in the display at my college so I don't have a picture of it.

I used black underglaze on the whole pot then put red underglaze on top of it and was glad to see that the red showed up just fine. After that I put a clear shiny glaze on top so that the colors would POP but unfortunately on the other side of the pot there is an area that the clear was too heavy and it has a cloudy grey color over the bottom ring of the red.

Also, the deep ribs in this pot gave me an idea for a new project... I'll post it soon :)
