Visual Description of Artwork
This ceramic platter was made by rolling a thick, flat ½ inch clay slab. The slab was laid onto a round convex plaster form and trimmed to make a consistent round curved platter shape. A clay foot was added to what is now the underside of the platter. Once the clay was completely dry, the platter was bisque fired in a kiln. After it was fired, thousands of glaze dots were applied to the bisque-fired clay surface using black glaze and a small brush to form the concentric circles that fade from dark to light. The circles look like they form a bullseye.
