Virginia Cartwright’s hand and slab-built thin-walled functional work has almost always been left unglazed. She notes, “The skills that I previously learned from dressmaking and metal smithing influenced the construction of my pieces.” To create the forms, she would cut a triangle out of the clay, as in making a dart for constructing a dress bodice, then bring the clay together which pulled in the form. As in the case of the Teapot, the triangle cutouts were wide and deep on top and bottom making the form ‘rounder’.
