| Vase by Samantha Henneke (18"x4")- Winner of Honorable Mention on Vasefinder 2012 |
Both Bruce and I have focused many hours at the wheel in our studio, designing different variations of the vase. There are numerous approaches and there is an incredible historic precedence in the exploration of the vase as form. We find it a traditional pottery form that we always enjoy getting back to and reinterpreting. Bruce and I will sometimes play back and forth in the studio when working out different curves and nuances. One of us will start a rhythm and the other will feed off it, and work out the silhouette in their own way. We also have certain variations of the vase that we seem to be drawn to individually. Whether it is tall and slender like my vase above or round and gourd like, the vase form provides an excellent shape for us to explore glazes and surface development.
I am honored to be awarded a Honorable Mention by juror John Glick for the Vasefinder Internationals 2012. This online vase show is hosted by Charles Blim of Vasefinder. Vasefinder is a membership based website whose advocacy is for the ceramic artist and the pottery profession.
