Southwest

In January of 2024, my wife and I visited southern Utah for a ceramics conference. I attempted to capture some of the landscape in my sketchbook. This was my first successful attempt at evoking it. This piece was thrown from studio reclaim with a bit of T2 added for color. The lines are created using vinyl detailing tape as resist, following by layered masks to allow me to glaze sections independently. The liner and outside are va clear glaze, the clouds jt shino, and the base iron red, fired to cone 10.
