Thank you Babalu and NuKKe. Here is the last project for my ceramics course. I needed a hard-edged slab form - the clay is rolled out, allowed to dry partially, then pieces are miter-cut and joined together. I had originally planned the volcano then saw Jim Warren's painting "Pele Rising" and decided to add the woman. This was my first attempt at human form sculpture, I'm no certainly Bowana but it turned out fair. The bottom of the volcano is smoke-fired to give the swirled smoke coloring. The bottom holds the drink, the removable lid holds dry ice.
