CERAMICS EXPERIMENT UNDERWAY!

they were throwing out all these glass blowing scraps. i had to tell them "no!" . i made a some slabs of clay and pressed them into the glass.

then i wrapped the slabs around a cylinder and made a base, so that i had what is called a slab pot. i like making slab pots because its like making a 3d patchwork quilt.

The idea behind this is that the glass will melt and embed itself into he clay, while also mixing with itself. what i hope does not happen, is the glass melting too much and running down the side of the pot and onto the shelf of the kiln.

i will see today what is the result.
keep having a rad summer!
