Arian's Art
 
Picture
Some project employ the use of contrasting or complimenting glazes to draw attention away from the actual form of a piece of art. This is small cylinder shaped vase that was altered after it was thrown. It is about 4 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide, and it has a footed ring on its base. The outer and inner surfaces of the vase are smooth but the lip has been alter so that it undulates in and out, forming three loop like waves in the lip. Half of the vase was dipped in white and the other half was dipped in a new cobalt blue glaze. The two colors overlapped each other in about an a region in the center of the vase about an inch wide and the effect was a light blue glaze with darker blue specks in it. The transitioning colors of the glazes moving from darker to lighter draw attention from the actual form of the vase.
