671. another level of quirky

for so very long
my mind and fingers craved you
so red hot, hot, hot 🦊❤️

Since starting to do pottery I have been really wanting to use “red” clay. I had my chance this week using this clay called “Sheltowee” by Kentucky Mud Works. There is something so earthy and substantial about it. It suits my creative vision of vessels that are “crude”, quirky and purposeless. It had such a good feel and it opened me up to new ideas. It kicked me up another level of quirky.  I envision this odd vessel haphazardly glazed in white to accentuate the cracking and unfinished surface.  We’ll see after bisque firing, maybe I’ll be at another level of quirky by then… 🦊❤️
