Sculpture Project 2: Replication and scale

Project 2 involves replicating an object at a different scale. I chose to make a sea Urchin.
I threw a thick bowl and perforated it with three different sized holes. I then rolled out coils of three different lengths for each hole size. At the tip of each spike is point of porcelain with cobalt pigment. I left the piece unglazed because I like bare porcelain, but also because I wouldn't be able to tough or move it after completion...
The spikes rest inside the perforated dome and it takes about an hour to assemble.
