Slab-built, using white stoneware clay, then coated with a porcelaneous slip, turning the surface into a white canvas for my design.

A tree emerges from the long, dark winter, to bloom with the first hints of spring. I throw, blow, squirt and drip glaze and oxides onto the lightly-damp surface. A small amount of transparent glaze, blown onto the bright yellow heaps of of yellow stain held it solidly in place during the firing.

Fired to cone 6, in oxidation.
