week 22 - Polka Dot Bowls

The best thing about Wednesdays-for-art is that when you have an idea or feel inspired, you are only a week away from an Art day and you can make it!

I had lots of fun today making these polka-dot bowls! They turned out really well; I am pleased.

Making my spotty clay using bits of dried up slip that I rolled into balls and then pressed into the clay and rolled flat.

I made one in grey Croxton and one in Terracotta. They both have white and dark green spots.



My braid pots came out of the kiln as well - they look great! I am glad I waited until I was sure of what I wanted before I glazed them. The larger one is for kitchen utensils and the other one is for your nail brush and sponge. I think I am going to make one to contain herbs. I've been using this plastic container on my window sill...it doesn't really look very good, lets be honest!

That is next weeks project planned!
