In this rotation I will show examples of my work featuring surface enhancements and explain my reasons for choosing a particular form for featuring a particular motif. Different forms can be used for similar motifs, but one needs to consider how a work will be viewed in person or via photographs. I will turn basic bowl forms appropriate for showcasing different surface techniques such as carving, pyrography, and coloring. Bowls can be classic forms or modified to accommodate deep texturing or carving.
