The former form....

These images are of the form during the consider process.  What is appropriate?  I could use watercolor or glaze, acrlyic or engobes. I settled with stoneware glazes from fairly traditional backgrounds, as well as some more odd and poisoning glazes to discuss function: or at least render them definitely-not-functional as tablware! But that was obvious with their arrangements....
The shapes were so beautiful. ...
I wonder what they will be

Magic will happen!

These are the moments before the fire changes these forever!

Im starting a consider the possibility of painting with ceramic materials.  More than this,  after understanding the concept that there is no such thing as 2d representation- a circle becomes a bowl. This leads me to conceptually challenge what is a painting. I am at early stages of thinking directly about tableware, as recently I was merely exploring materials. But wait to see where this goes,  I have no idea myself what will actually happen and how it will read....
