Notes

I'm really happy with this one. It's definitely the tallest thing I've finished so far, and the glaze resist pattern worked really nicely. The pattern is based off an anglo-saxon jar, and I'd like to incorporate more elements like this into my more decorative pieces.

My main critique of this piece is that the bottom is quite heavy - evidentially I didn't do the worlds best job of getting the clay in the bottom of the bulbous section upwards. I could have trimmed it away, and I mostly did, but to make it even in trimming would have thrown off the form.
