A half slip-cast and half hand-built porcelain pot, decorated with a traditional Chinese porcelain glaze and a rock from the Cairngorms.

Dimensions:

Pot n.2 from The Forest of Pots. The bottom of the pot was slip-cast and the top handbuilt in porcelain. By slip-casting the bottoms of my pots, I created a visual repetition. On the other hand, the handbuilding brings difference to the vessels. The glaze is following a recreation of a traditional Chinese porcelain glaze + wood ash. As for the material, I ground down some of the rock to powder, some to gravel and some of it was left. The rock had a low melting point, creating a metallic effect on the pot.
