This is a form I had been messing with for a bit, but wanted to make it a little more exciting by throwing it really thick, then carving the thick chunky spiral that goes around the pot. I threw it right ways up, trimmed the bottom to a point then slammed it on one side at an angle to give it the leaning look. I then let it dry for a bit, and then carved the rough spiral, hoping to make it look as rock like as possible.

Ikebana is a really cool art style, using flowers and other materials to create visually stunning displays springing from a variety of interesting forms. I love making vessels with this in mind. Trying to make a piece that looks complete itself, but is also designed to be expanded upon and exaggerated by another. Very fun. Making an experimental ikebana container - image 1 - student project
