Artist's Comments

Experimental ceramics from my first degree.
Porcelain, rolled thinly cut into hoops and over fired to induce warping and fusing.

Wibble pot 003 by ~alex190381 is an experimental ceramic sculpture with an abstract design that seems to be made of sheer impossibility with the thin porcelain hoops. (Featured by `Myana)

Many Thanks, nice to get a little love for some old dusty work, maybe when I've finally finished studying I can get my hands back in some mud, until then................. Cheers for the comments, much appreciated, Alex
:iconw0cr4zy4ss:
very cool o.o cant understand how you're able to construct it without having it collapse... survive the drying.. firing...etc.... o.0 very nicee i think you should continue working on this field its good stuff!

Thanks for your comments. I fully intend to get back into whenever I finally finish my architecture training. Oh and get a shed. and a kiln. and some clay. and some patience!
Seems to dry quite safely, and they're fired standing on their edges in sand/silica, which protects them a little, fired high to make the wibble. Then they're glazed and constructed in the kiln, fired low to prevent anymore warping, then its just pot luck to see if they turn out in the end, I had a spoils ratio of about 1:3.
I'll post some more in about 5 years all being well!
Cheers A
