Personally I absolutely love the way it came out, it’s a form unique in its own right that would look stunning on display set against a window where it can catch the right light to cast beautiful shadows.
Deliberately cracking and then leaning something against the bisque to shape it during the second firing is genius. The outcome: a piece that looks soft to the touch, given its shape and translucency. I knew that pieces can warp under their own weight a little in the kiln, but never to this degree. 凄い.
I would have loved to see a close up of the finished surface, with a couple of lighting scenarios (backlit, frontlit). Still a good video of his process. Thank you.
He also leaned a heavy post against it and fired it half way to get it to have the beginning of the fold. You can see that at 6:48. Then he fired it completely so it drooped a little more.
He was making a crack down the top half of it, so it would appear to have a rip in it. He leaned a heavy post against it and fired it half way to get it to have the beginning of the fold. You can see that at 6:48. Then he fired it fully so it drooped a little more,
