Ken Chernavitch is known for using a substance called liquid clay to create most of his pieces, including this pot. Chernavitch starts with a plaster base, onto which he squeezes out the clay required for the final size of the piece. He then adds any colours in the same liquid clay format. The plaster absorbs most of the water making the material like soft leather. At this point, he can assemble the sides (as in this piece) or mould the slab into a cylinder or other shape.
