# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Studio Pottery, a style from Ceramic Styles, 1920s–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: pulling a product away from factory evenness by keeping the forming marks and the glaze runs in the finish, or selling one off pieces online, where the photography has to show that no two of the same form match. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Throwing rings, or the seams of coils and slabs, left visible instead of smoothed away
- High temperature glazes: ash, celadon and tenmoku, returning again and again to brown black and grey green
- Streaked copper red and purple glazes that ran in the kiln and stayed as unplanned marks on the wall
- Incised lines inlaid with coloured slip under a white glaze, with a different glaze at rim and foot alone

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: One piece large with space around it. Do not align a row; let heights and tilts stay uneven
- Type and lettering: Keep any lettering small and thin, naming only the piece and the potter, and never decorative
- Material and surface: High fired stoneware, porcelain and raku. Ash, celadon and tenmoku glazes and running copper reds, laid thick enough to let the coarse body show through
- Colour: #D8CBB0 carries the ground, #93A98F is the colour the style is remembered by, #3A2418 holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: calm, intimacy, rebellion

## What goes wrong

Copying only the marks of the hand and adding wobble leaves out the high firing and the behaviour of the glaze, and produces a mass made object that merely looks uneven.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
