I'm really glad (even if no one else is) that I've been posting work in this thread for so long. It's helpful to see work I've done from two years ago to compare growth and recognize my improvement... working in a studio alongside professional art and production potters can be pretty intimidating so i need occasional reminders that I've been getting better at this. Also I've given away about ninety percent of the work in this thread and it's nice to have some reference record.

This material can not be other than soil. The project focuses on the natural properties of soil. Earth, or Soil, as a construction material has been used since Neolithic times. The advantages of an earth – soil structure are primarily related to both the environment and economy, being secure and friendly to our environment. Soil also offers the benefits of natural insulation, fire protection, air circulation, low first cost, 100% recyclable structures, stiffness, great strength, thermal flywheel effect, low greenhouse emissions, regulating the climate and providing a healthy Indoor environment.

i've had something of a breakthrough in my trimming technique that's allowed me to make much lighter bowls. These are the things that make me happy.Just spent six hours at the studio detailing some recent stuff. Here's the most recent batch, including my first paid requisition: the hash mark bowl in the back there. I also made a little "DRINK ME" vial as a gift for my gf's sister's kid. you can also put your weed in there.http://i.imgur.com/fBVzQs0.jpgthis thing took me almost two hours to carve; I purposely left a lot of thickness on the body and then traced out a freehand flowing abstract pattern, then carved it out in relief and gave the raised portion a light drybrushing with porcelain. It looks a lot cooler in personhttp://i.imgur.com/c4olSGR.jpgThe pangolin pattern, the ripple pattern and hashmark pattern are all things I've gotten practiced and better at over time. The big ears cup is a first time thing.http://i.imgur.com/1G9zk5S.jpg
