This stoneware pedestal bowl combines both slab-built and wheel-thrown techniques. The upper bowl is formed from slab, well the pedestal base thrown on the wheel, blending both to create a smooth flow to give the peace height and refinement. The texture is created by Natalies fingers, creating a soft and tactile quality to the surface. The glass is chosen to settle and highlight this texture and enhance the handmade nature of the piece.
