Soft Blue Pinch Pot

You can’t tell, but the rolled design on the side is meant to be dolphins cavorting in the waves. The glaze, while interesting, is too thick to show the design. I have a series of rolled stamps I made out of clay and fired that I’ve had for years. They’re great, because they make a repeating frieze pattern along any clay you roll them on. I remember how excited I was when I first tried them out and saw the crisp design. I feel like I’m drifting away from pottery; I haven’t felt that kind of excitement about ceramics in years.
