This is a curved box that I have been working on. The box design is based on a piece of foam that we found on a beach in Kauai. I think it is a piece of foam from the hull of a boat that broke apart. The foam was really beat up by the sea and the elements. It has taken on a beautiful and unique shape.
This is the piece of foam.
This is the second box that I built. The first attempt came apart slightly at one of the seams. After putting more supports and coils along the seams on the inside of the box it came out well. My idea is to make a set of these in different sizes. The texture on the top of the box is from the bottom of the foam piece after it was pressed into the clay.
A customer asked me to make a long narrow piece for the center of her long dining room table. First I threw the wall of the piece on a large bat.
After letting the clay set up a little bit, I removed the wall from the bat and then I elongated it so that it is around 28 inches or 71.2 cm.
Then I attached the slab bottom to it.
Voila!
