conentration ideas

Amy told me that i should look at some of Jeff Campana's work and i did. He throws pots, cuts them up when they are leather hard, then reassembles them. what he does is truly amazing and unique. here is a link to one of his pitchers and a blog featuring him.

and here's a picture of one of his mugs



I could use a concept similar to this, because his technique gives his pieces a unique texture. although they are smooth, the glaze builds up in the grooves and lines he has created. If i try to imitate this, i might just make grooves in the pots rather than cutting them apart due to the sake of time and a necessity to create a product.
