Massive Pot Technique

Massive Pot Making 

Using wood and rope template that collapses when finished

Used in france today from the 16th century

"This method of making large pots with wood armatures wrapped in rope is a centuries old technique.  The form begins with a series of wood verticals that describe the height of the piece, and the diameter of the top and the bottom."

Throwing Pieces

I would like to throw bowls and create this texture inside of them, kind of an organic looking idea. 

I like how you can see the raw clay on the outside but then the inside is glazed with colors a set of bowls or cups or something where you can see the inside as well as the raw clay on the outside.

Forms that are thrown with elongated features, or not proportionate features. 

Textured bowls and plates that will be undergalzed, just like the mexican plate I have already made. 

Lighting Ideas

I am now thinking about  lighting with organic forms as well as thrown forms. I would like to make paper clay and put it in vase molds with these shapes or circular shapes.
 Also to create organic forms like these. 

And a few thrown pieces with lighting/candles.
