Sample text

I try to bear all this in mind as I turn or design a form, and there are many applications of abstract principles throughout this book— particularly in the following section on profiles. Unfortunately, rigid adherence to such rules of proportion is no guarantee of success. They should be regarded as guidelines that aid your confidence and stimulate your perception of the possibilities, not limit them. Your art is your personal sense of the arrangement of  Decorative beads can be used to define a mass and influence your perception of proportion on a profile.

The drawing below again illustrates the importance of the position of the tightest part of the curve (as with the simple curves in the drawing on page 56), but with these S-shaped profiles more can go wrong. An ogee can combine drastically different curves—tight little curls with long almost-flat arcs—or identical reversed curves, and of course everything in between. The options are limitless. At A is a good basic form, and at B is a good extension of it. You can cut off a curve like this at almost any point and still have a good curve, as you may see in the bowl pictured at right.

The line of the profile can be rolled right over at the rim, as shown by the broken lines  The near-flat section of the upper profile combined with the relatively wide base make the larger bowl seem quite dumpy in comparison to the more delicate small oak bowl. The large bowl cries out for a more defined foot, like that of the oak bowl on page 63. s y mm e t r y v s . a s y mm e t r y – 2 T he arcs at A and C are very mundane when compared to the dynamic, asymmetric curves at B and D. The latter spring to life as their profiles take off steeply before sweeping outward through the tightness of the curve (creating an integrated foot in the process).
