This Rowboat Alley Platter was envisioned from a magazine photo. It measures 15 inches in diameter and 2 inches in height. Slab built from a speckled brown clay body, the slab is slumped over a glass platter that I utilize to build all of my large platters. Once the platter was laid out, I started building each rowboat and attached them separately, then embellished the rim with rope and buoys, one Maine lobster buoy, and one Florida lobster buoy. The platter was glazed all over with an Ashville Eve high fire glaze that was applied with a large thirsty brush. Afterward, I scrubbed the glaze off the rowboats and ropes, and re-glazed them with a Waterfall Brown high fire glaze to give a nice contrast to the piece.
