Description: | This pot has been constructed from numerous pieces of clay in a similar way to the technique of patchworking. Apart from hardening the clay, the firing process can also alter the shape of a pot as certain types of clay respond differently to heat; the clays become hardened or 'ceramic' at different rates, causing the shape of the pot to distort. As a result of this, the shape of the pot, post-firing, is unpredictable. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft makers ceramics contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
