Eye Band
This is a medium, hand-built, belly bowl. White stoneware with a band of eyes under a roped, jasper rim. I stained the clay body before glazing, adding a soft lush cinnamon to the body, while wiping the eye design with a pale moon-glow as accent. The inside of the bowl is glazed with layered Galactic Blue.
7 1/2" dia. x 5".

Eyes on clay just seemed natural. Like Moari, Incas, Druid and First Nation art where God, nature, the universe are all watching. I appreciate the unexpected mark that reveals and makes something special. All of these are influences.
I think part of being out in Nature is what do you see? The other part is what in Nature is seeing you?
Typically, stoneware is food and oven safe, however, I don’t think I would put this piece in the oven, and would most likely wash it by hand.
I can provide additional pictures upon request.
