Yikes! Pottery in the fifth dimension!
This project combines a three dimensional form with one dimensional sketches portraying three dimensions ….and I have no idea what that means!
The painted decoration is a simple line drawing
You’ll build a vessel or other form with white earthenware slabs and decorate with cobalt oxide or underglazes. Look HERE for some inspiration.
Preparation
Paper Template
Make a paper template for the form. Maximum height is 20 cm and maximum width is 17cm. Remember, these are meant to be flatish – just two slabs joined at the sides. Make sure the base of your vessel is wide enough that it will be stable.
Whatnots
You can also make some flat slab ornaments or whatnots. Think Christmas! Have a look on your computer at “clip art” for ideas and print them out.
Bucket
If you don’t have time or just prefer, you can use my pattern to make a bucket.
