Woo Blue and Rutile Swirl Planter with Drainage
This handmade ceramic planter has a dynamic swirled shape, with a denim blue glaze that deepens into purples and warm earth tones around the rim. The piece is wheel-thrown from Sonoran White clay and fired to cone 10 in reduction, creating a rich finish that gives this planter plenty of character. Its flared opening and integrated drip catcher make it both a striking display piece and a functional home for your favorite plant.

Process
This planter was made on my potter’s wheel using a stoneware clay called Sonoran White. A swirl was added to the wet form to give the shape movement and texture. A drainage galley was thrown around the bottom of the pot, and two drainage holes were added at the base.
After drying and bisque firing, the entire exterior and saucer were glazed with Woo Blue glaze. A pop of Rutile glaze was added to the rim, to create a swirl of deep browns, purples and blues. The interior is unglazed. This piece was fired to cone 10 in reduction at Desert Dragon Pottery in North Phoenix.
