back again with a bit of a different video this time! I've been building large pots in preparation for my first solo art show, eee! come hang with me for a couple days as I build the first of many, i hope y'all find the process as soothing + meditative as I did while making ☁️✨
if you're local swing by and check out the show (still untitled lolol), august 6-8 @ nvrlnd. studios in ramsay (calgary, AB). I'm both so nervous and excited for this body of work! :-)
✋🏼 more details / thoughts about building this piece:
〰️ final height ~ 17 inches tall
〰️ clay used: bright white from Tucker’s (Ontario based)
〰️ banding wheel came with my shimpo wheel at a local estate sale - having the plastic layer on top was super helpful in detaching the piece during the process!
〰️ used about 1 and a half bags of clay (~ 15 kg rough estimate, though some of this was scraped away and re-used later so hard to say exactly!)
〰️ the kiln I use will only fit something up to 19” tall so that was the limit I was working with
