Pottery by Osa

It’s tough to make #pottery with this type of clay that we would deem functional. I’ve attempted to do so by combining it with commercially mined materials that help decrease porosity (or encourage vitrification.) In the end, I decided to honor its natural qualities instead of trying to force it to be something it isn’t. (Beautiful life lesson, right?) This is a sculptural vessel I made last year with minimally processed #Florida clay. #WildClay

A textured, cream-colored bowl with a raised geometric repeating V pattern, held in a hand against a green background. The V pattern echos the shape of the vessel which has a narrow foot and wide mouth. The mouth has a downward curve to it. The granular quality of the clay is visible. It contains black speckles—probably fossil material.

@potterybyosa

Does that mean like: this type wouldn't be good at holding water, but you can use it to hold dry things or where you'd want a porous material or just to look beautiful? (which it does!)
