Thor Holvila 2412-11
Thors comment:
"As you can see, this pot is fired upside down so that the glaze has flowed in an upward stream, creating "drops" along its edge. Normally, I would sand off that glaze and then refire the pot in the correct direction. But I liked this pot so much and the glaze effect is amazing, with its crystals and pools of icy blue, so I decided to keep it this way."

THOR ABOUT THE EDITION - "Jul"
"This year has been one of the most turbulent in my life with a lot of joy but that ended with sorrow. I was therefore working with the theme "Black flowers" in the back of my head the whole time. But when it was time to glaze, I realized that the dark theme was draining my energy and thus creativity. I even started to doubt myself and with that came difficulty after difficulty. I therefore decided to change the name to "Jul", as Jul/winter solstice, is here and we are heading towards brighter times. Outside the window, the magpies are now starting to build their nests and the days are getting longer and brighter. Let my tree sculpture symbolize the growth that are awaiting us. God Jul to you all."

I would like to dedicate this edition to my brother Andrew Prett "Stonemonkey" Pearson and my neighbour and dear friend Bil Lena Andersson"
