Week 30 - various pottery project resolved

KS&W has been working hard on the summer clearout, which includes getting everything fired! From earlier in the year, you may remember some of these projects...

These red clay bowls that I used my letter stamps on...



PEPPER, SALT and SOUP!


Salt and pepper were too thickly glazed, really only the SOUP one worked...


Leaf plates that were meant for Raku...





'Patchwork bowl' that was meant for Raku...looking quite fabulous in blue!!


'Polka dot' bowls where I experimented with balls of coloured slip rolled into the clay...
One of these is croxton (grey clay) the other is terra cotta (red clay). You can't really tell which is which! The dark green slip has reacted with the white glaze and sort of bled into it, it is really a nice effect. Unfortunately the white glaze has totally almost totally covered up the white polka dots. I should have glazed the terra cotta one in clear as it already looked so nice! Well there is a lot more experimenting to be done here...perhaps trying I will be trying dark blue and green spots!





All comments welcome on the above pieces!
