Stacking cylinders, and the power of mistakes

Celebrating Kim's return to health and the studio. Here's a piece from last year. Isn't it fun to see what happens when you stack several simple cylinders to form a tall vessel?

This one benefited from a couple of things you could call mistakes.

Firstly the cylinders weren't quite regular, so I had to turn the middle one upside down to get them to match. That led to the bamboo-type effect above.

Secondly I kind of dropped the vessel into the glaze, while struggling to immerse something so long (about 45 cm prior to second firing) into the liquid. And that created some of the drips and blobs that give it a bit more character.
