Sculpture/Wheel thrown pieces

These are three pieces created by Dan and Laurie Hennig. These are Wheel-thrown and sculpted stoneware vessels and sculpture, high-fired to cone 10 in reduction. I chose this for my blog post because there is a good balance of wheel thrown and sculpture in these pieces. Also the animals are all really detailed, and the pots are well glazed to match the theme.

I picked this piece because I thought that it was interesting how they made animals using different wheel thrown parts (nose, eyes, body). I also thought that the animals were cute.

I like this vase because of the colors. It is raku fired and has a shiny emerald green and copper red finish. It is 10 inches tall and 7 inches wide.

I really like this vase because of the colors and structure of the vase. It is a swirl of sea blue and deepest black and also a hint of earthtone. It is said to look like an ancient Asian treasure. It is 17 3/4" high.

Wheel Thrown Vase

This piece is a wheel thrown vase that I really like because I like the shape of the vase. I like how it isn't just straight up, but it also changes diameter of the opening. I also like the coy design on the side of the vase.

Strigilated Vase with Snake Handles and Lid

This vase is made out of marble and is an example known today of a Roman vessel with a strigilated pattern carved on the body. The elongated S-shaped channels were a popular form of relief decoration on vases and sarcophagi. The decoration was inspired by the second and third century A.D. I like the broad shoulder part of the vase where the handles meet. I like the intricate detailed curves, dents, and lines in the vase as well.

Raku Vase

This Raku vase really appealed to me because I really like the intricate coloring of the vases. It has a rusty looking exterior glaze and some parts seem metallic while other parts seem regular. I also really liked the two knobs on the top of the vase. They have a cool texture and match the vases rusty looking exterior.

I chose these raku vases because they look almost as if they're jade. The sticks in the vase also give it an appealing look to it, as the one on the right reminds me of a tree. Also, the vase in the middle has two abnormal looking handles on the sides which add an interesting look to it. The artist also might have added on the top part of the middle bowl.

Taller Raku Vase

I chose this piece because i think the way the artist makes the cracks in the piece really work good and i also like the shape of the piece.

Jordan- Tall Vase

This wheel thrown, raku vase has a shiny copper finish and a bit of green around the bottom. I chose this because it is rather big and small base and even pretty big top. It's handles are very tiny like knobs not really meant for actual holding but it has a nice design to it and putting handles on both sides just make it more appealing.

I chose this raku fired pot because I like the shape of it how it bulges out in the center and is choked in near the top. I also like how it's metallic and the designs on it.

Raku Fired Vase

I picked these raku fired vases because the walls are uneven. Unlike normal throwing where the walls should be even these vases make it there keystone.

I chose this raku vase because I liked how the copper was mixed into it and I like the shape of the lip.

I chose this vase because I liked the square shape and the glazing. I got it from Rising Sky Pottery.
