Make a Vase influenced by Linglong Rice Grain Ware

Linglong Rice grain pottery is an old ceramic method from China's Ming (1369-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911/12). The wall of an object is first pierced through with a sharp tool. After it is bisque fired  the holes are filled with glaze which melts into the hole creating a small translucent window.
  • Goal is to go from 2/D with 3/3D slab construction.
  • research: Ling Long Yan Pottery. Where was it invented and when? Who invented it and why? Write a half page. What makes it unique?
  • Sketch your vase and cut out holes.
  • Make a test square slab with pierced designs.
  • Before starting your large vase make a test mini vase with your pierced slab design.
