This vase was made with marbled clay.
I first threw the body of it on the wheel and then sliced very thin pieces of the marbled clay to place onto the surface like a mosaic. I then used a wooden rib with warm water to lightly firm the marbled pieces together and onto the surface of the form with the wheel running. This creates a grey slurry coating due to the mixing of the marbled colours.
To remedy this, I used the blow torch to dry the surface of the form and then I used a metal rib to scour the top 1mm of the surface to remove the grey and expose the beautiful marbling.
