Description
I created my “Blue Ridge” series to celebrate the flora of Western North Carolina in the Arts and Crafts style. The Blue Ridge Bowl was thrown and trimmed on the potter’s wheel, then carefully dried to just the right consistency to create the chiseled texture on the upper and lower sections. Later in the drying stage, I carve a narrative landscape freehand with several tools that I have acquired. After the bowl is bisque fired, I painstakingly hand-brush each color in 3 layers and fire it again to 2232 F.
