Here's another Tom Coleman piece, this one carved by his wife Elaine. Do you guys prefer this or the last post?
I'm lucky to have a teacher who is personal friends with the Colemans and has the formula for their characteristic celadon glaze. Celadons are a common decoration, originating in ancient Chinese pottery. The surface is shiny with a subtle crackle below the surface, and it pools really well in thick places, which supports those carved lines she uses.

  1. Why does that look so damn good?

    Have to say I prefer this one to the previous post - Very cool you have a link to the original sculptor!
