Islands in the Stream 2

Wheel-thrown jar, with three glazed panels decorated with further trails of slip and glaze.

The Islands in the Stream series of vases reflects the quiet streams, ponds and lakes that I have come to know so well in Ontario. In these three sun-dappled ponds, their cool waters break creating islands as they flow gently to the sea.

Height: 23 cm; width at widest point: 21 cm.

White stoneware clay, fired to cone 5 with 20 minute hold, in oxidation.

Islands in the Stream 1

Wheel-thrown jar, with three glazed panels decorated with further trails of slip and glaze. I am using the copper carbonate glaze as I have in the past, but fired a little lower than before. The lower firing gives a cooler blue-green tinge to the glaze.
