Dragged Through The Mud - Ceramics by Torii Cooper

The last things that get peeled off are the 2 side separation pieces.

Ohhhhhhhhh soooo sexy.............after lots of smoothing with a soft rib, comes the peel and revile.

Applying the mono-print. Right now it has 2 layers; one has the print on it and the second is just there for support.

i just ordered one! so hard to pick one out. I want them all!!!!!! soooooooooooo goooooooooooood

Ooooooooohhhhh.....the peel and reveal! So delicious and so nutritious. This is the second wobble pot I made, If I remember correctly. I just found this reel so I thought I'd post it for you, with a promise to make better and more process videos.

This beauty has found a home in the collection of designer extraordinaire, Diana Garreau. Swing by her gallery if your in Laguna Beach to check it out and to see all of Garreau's amazing things. You can also find her at www.dianagarreau.com and on Instagram @dianagarreau.

Started a new vase. She’s gotta hangout in the hammock while her undercarriage firms up. If i had a nickel for every time i’ve said that…

So happy to have sold this vase. She’s going to a loving home by the beach, where she’ll get to feel the fresh ocean breeze in her flowers.

Super sweet!

Time for y'all to meet the brains behind the operation. Her name is Xolo and her breed is a Xoloitscuintli otherwise known as a Xolo or a Mexican Hairless (sounds like a specialized stripper). And no, I never named her. She became Xolo by default, and lack of imagination. 13, diabetic, blind-ish

Absolutely amazing! I don't know where your studio exists in the big beautiful world, but if you ever do a work shop, i'll do my very best to be there! I have been many places on this earth, and peeped in many studios, but I have never seen anything quite like your work. Excited to see more!!

Oh, Breathtaking!! The colors and detail! Very inspiring.

BlueSky is rather unfriendly to the poet. 300 words is castrating, spaying, neuterizing and geldedifying. To Haiku Land with you poet! Or maybe a new form of poetry shall be born. A 300 word format including a minimum of 2 proper nouns, 3 made up words and a reference to a bird; BlueSky-ku. Peacock.

Hi there I hope I am doing this correctly. Cheers!

Cont'd...here are a few images of the inspiration behind the last post. There are theories, but no one knows the real meaning behind Medieval imagery of a queen feeding a dead kings bits to animals. Ceramic to be completed with epoxy clay, once they figure their shit out and finally come together.

Here is a piece I have been playing hide-and-go-seek with in my studio for a long time. All but the first image is unfired. They are separate pieces, and they just need to figure out what they need from each other and then sit still. Apparently, I am allowed so few words, so this must be cont'd...

My name is Torii, a dingo killed my baby, prepare to die. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one where the wild things are. Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself, I am a woman of little wealth and poor taste. I'd better go, because the center cannot hold. No rough beast am I.

Hi there! Torii Cooper here. I'm new to BlueSky (well I suppose we all are), and I would love to be considered for your list. I am a sculptor in all mediums but primarily ceramics, and currently trying to teach myself some pottery. By the by, thank you for putting this list together. Cheers!
