Ceramics

Was invited by a friend last week to an exhibition of ceramic pieces. It was very interesting because I used to throw pots and had thoroughly enjoyed it. These pieces were mostly coiled and hence much heavier than thrown pieces. They had a quirky organic shape and feel. I was particularly intrigued with 2 enormous vases in terra-cotta with a white slip and sgraffitoed figures. On closer inspection, they were of women masturbating! Not exactly lounge room material.


This picture is of a Christmas pressie I bought in the same vein as those vases. I just love it's shape.
