PORCELAINia
SANTA MONICA
 |  |  |  |  |
The Santa Monica style's design elements are deliberately chosen and layered rather than discovered by truncation. With a series of parallel rings of decreasing size toward the poles of the spherical vessel, a sense of curvalinear harmony is this style's strongest design characteristic. The Santa Monica style uses rings of increasing diameter pressed into the walls of two plaster hemisphere molds. The hemispheres are then assembled to form a sphere from which the final vessel is sculpted.
