Description
A raku-glazed chess set i made a few years ago. It's one of my favorite pieces of mine. I slab-rolled the board and hand-made the pieces, tho one of these days i'm gonna remake them (they're just weird abstract pieces, and i wanna redo them). I used 2 different raku glazes, a shiny green one and White Crackle.Stoneware, Raku
UPDATE:
I have submitted an alternate photo of this piece into my scraps: [link]

this is truly amazing. Pottery and chess are two things that inspire me. I will make my own chess set, thanks to your own inspiration.

For the win! I think the rustic half-formed look of the pieces works well with the overall idea.

This is amazing! The different colors and textures makes it so alive, I can almost see how they are moving by them self..
I really like the horses and towers, all of them have a lot of character. Great work!!
