enjoying so much the interaction between clay body and glaze …the earthiness/stoniness of the surface….oxidised mattwhite glaze over Keanes stoneware 33.
STONEware jars
fish tiles
porcelain tiles 15 x15 cm…painted with cobalt lines and washes…
coastal theme for a client.
‘stone’ cups
stoneware cups out of last weeks firing…am enjoying the ‘stone-ness’ of the body and the way the white matt glaze works over it, satisfies a need for ‘earthiness’ visually apparent. my porcelain is fired to the same temperature, a different delishess ness !!
cloud bowls
love a morning when its time to use my brushes and cobalt washes to paint some of my pieces!!!
stone plates
plates and bowls out of the kiln on the weekend…am enjoying the stoneware clay body, colour and texture. the whole process of ceramics, of earth, clay, forming and firing processes, resulting in usable objects, never ceases to be a pleasure.
blue and white and snow gum
just unpacked the kiln, eager to see how a few new clay bodies are working with my matt white glaze….’snow gum’ keeps coming to mind at the soft variations of the glaze running over the clay.
stoneware flower jar
am enjoying working with a stoneware clay body and a white matt glaze in the studio at the moment…
allowing simple over runs of glaze to break up the surface of the pot
dark inky blue beakers
was a bit excited about the fresh cobalt and the batch of beakers just out of the kiln is quite dark in places….inky black blue…I love it !!
porcelain for your ears…
cobalt washed discs of porcelain with sterling silver findings (approx. 5x4cm )…at times in the studio its nice to work on these small scale sized projects between packing the kiln or throwing, or waiting for things to dry…and they use up small spaces in the kiln setting, around bowls etc
Quiet drizzly morning
this little porcelain beaker washed with copper glaze out of the kiln yesterday morning just suits this refreshing morning. cooler, quieter, rain dripping off the eaves
