This piece of digital deception is a collaborative effort between Rebecca Kaufman and Alex Mandli.

The surface marks on this pot are made by soaking combustible materials in iron and salt water, resulting in a surprising marble-like effect.

With forms I saw in Italy, I used iron oxide slip decoration and saggar firing to emulate Italian stone. #ItsOnlyDirt
