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.

    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!

    I think this one is equivalent to the last one, they're both pretty amazing.
