New Experiments, 9-24-16
I have been working on more experiments with the clay and glazes. I am excited with the results and the possibilities for more series and sculptures. Here is a preview of the pieces that came out of the kiln this week.
Doily laid on pot and glazed over it. This turned out very nice. About a 12" bowl, this is the under side of the bowl.
This is the same bowl, yellow glaze on the inside with the doily dipped in glaze and laid on the inside on the side of the bowl. It is a fairly good print, but like the outside 'stenciled' look better.
I took my regular bowl shape and fluted the edges and tried overlaying a second glaze over the first then texturing the glaze with a regular ceramic tool. I was not sure how it would work, but I like the affect. This is the inside of the bowl, approximately 12" across.
This is the side view of the flower bowl.
Mishima bowl, red clay with white clay over texture and then the surface is scraped to leave a smooth surface, but white clay in the depressed texture and the red clay showing through . The inside of the bowl is just burnished red clay, no glaze. This is one of my favorite bowls.
The outside of the mishima bowl. Love this piece. Approximately 8" across.
Large pod pot with geometric texture on one side and my grandmother's lace curtain texture on the bottom side. Approximately 12" across. Glaze is inlaid in the textures, then wiped off.
Geometric side of the large pod pot pictured above.
Small pod approximately 8" across with pine needle texture with glaze in textured areas. The holes will have small branches/sticks through them and then hang from those sticks.
Very small VERY THIN sculpture, displayed on vertebrae, approximately 2-3" across.
Red clay face with textured surface inlaid with glaze. Title is 'Spirit of Strength'. The concept is that almost everyone carries around some scars whether they are visible or not. The experiences that caused the scars make us stronger and who we are. So many people do not see those scars, only the surface of who we are. I wanted to show more.
