Hand shaped pottery

Morgan Peck on Instagram: "I don’t have a lot of patience. 😬 Especially when I’m making things, so using a slab of sculpture clay really work for me. I can build a 12” tall vase in minutes (at least get the body done). With just a few well placed darts the shape can change quickly. I’ve never had luck or much interest using the pottery wheel, but this method has kept me interested for nearly 15 years."

Lee Wolfe Pottery on Instagram: "The ceramic Leaf Circle bowl needed 5 feet. Here I’m showing you how I added 5 ball feet, then shaped them to flow with the lines of the bowl. Hand built pottery lends itself to very organic shapes. I’m really pushing it with this bowl. I like to take art to the limits.

To maintain dynamism in my studio practice, I am continually experimenting with new hand-building techniques. But my chosen material, porcelain, remains a constant. Its whiteness, plasticity and translucency hold an enduring allure for me. Its transformation from malleable material to vitrified form always awes and surprises me.
