Handbuilt Damask Bowl Study

Over the past couple of weeks I have been experimenting with adding complex textures to the inside of bowls using stamps. These bowls are hand built using a process of rolling out a slab, stamping the texture and then draping the slap over a plaster mold. Once draped, I trim to desired height and then move the entire shaped slab still on the mold to my wheel. Once on the wheel I clean up the exterior of the bowl as best I can, add a coil of clay to the bottom and shape a foot ring. I currently have 8 of these bowls drying. They are 12" in Diameter and approximately 5-6" high. Each has a different texture.
