Ugly Piece

This started off promising but was ruined by being fused into an erect base. It should have been moprphed into a shapeless lump. The glaze didn't fasten onto it properly either (terracotta clay is never getting used again because it is simply too dark and overpowers most of the colours you paint onto it - what you can mainly see is the dull orange/brown terracotta). This piece is just so rotten ugly - but at least it is different, on the upside. There is a fast growing reject pile as the quality of earlier pieces looks dated in comparison to newer objects. The good news is that even the worst reject can become the star of the show after applying another paint job (which by definition should be experimental because there is nothing to lose with a reject) and refiring in the kiln. Here's to the failed batch! Long and stylishly may you be resurrected!
