Gessoed Bisque-ware played by Nevin Kight (preview)








From collected crystal clay earth mush, wedged to airless ball shapes slapped onto a wheel and moistened, pushed to pulling up and opened out, cut off wrapped up and waiting on a shelf.  Fired to over 1600*F and again waiting on the shelf.  Brought home and set in a hallway, bottoms pierced, body covered in white polymer goo, waiting in a bucket, frequently tripped over for about a month, finally hung and played.
