Dots Bird Feeder

Hand built stoneware bird feeder extruded as a hollow tube. The bottom is closed by folding the clay like paper and compressing with a dowel. Feeding stations are formed by hand and the entire piece is coated with black slip. The top is created by using a press mold. Once the slip coating is dry enough to handle the decoration is obtained by carving through the slip coating revealing the white clay body, an ancient technique known as sgraffito. The feeder is assembled using braided steel cable.
