I constructed this bowl by shaping glass fiber textile over a form. I saturated the textile with pure white liquid porcelain. After an initial firing, I glazed it with the red and black glaze which I then re-fired it to fuse the porcelain, fabric and the glazes.
What I like about this particular bowl is the pure white porcelain exterior which shows the coarse fabric structure containing the smooth nuanced red interior, highlighted by the coppery central medallion and rim.
My goal is to capture the suppleness of textiles and the formality of porcelain. I saturate various weaves of glass textile, sometimes coarse and sometimes fine, with porcelain to create vessels that are remarkably thin, strong and lightweight. Each vessel is individually formed, and then fired until the glass fiber and the porcelain fuse.
