Lidded Project



The dark and light glazes create a surprising and an unexpected "pop" in the project. This 3.5x4 inch lidded project is wheel thrown. The throw marks are more visible towards the lip and foot. The glazes used are shadow green and yellow. the green glaze has a bumpy texture while the yellow sits smoothly on the inside. The darker color of the shadow green makes the project seem small on the outside, but once you open the lid, the yellow creates a surprise in the pot's interior.

The opaque white and turquoise glazes sit well on the vase. the two colors meet in the middle to create a whole other color. the two colors create a subtle, but appealing contrast.
