Artist statement
For my ceramics show, I found that I have a knack for slabs, and I really like bowls, so I made slab bowls. I was inspired by the look of hammered metal so I created texture by rolling a slab to an even thickness and then tapping the clay with a wooden spoon. Then I mixed a metallic glaze combination. Each bowl has the same coloring and size of mold, but the natural shape gives each bowl their unique style and the glaze I applied makes each bowl have different tones. I had fun creating and perfecting the process to end up with my individual bowls.
