1st project progress - handbuilt idea 1



Last summer I became interested in an article on early American gas stations and how they described them as a "porcelain box". These modular cubes were described as "a metal-and-glass shell with a porcelain enamel interior and a concrete floor".



My first step in the process is to make scaled down ceramic cubes of 5 of the earlier service stations. Above is the 12 x 18 metal portable service station, 1933 scaled down to 2 x 3
