its beginning to feel like christmas
there’s nothing quite like australian christmas bush flowering, cicadas pitched collective noise and a bit of heat to say its almost here, christmas 2017 !! (how did that happen so fast !!)
landscape bowls
just out of the kiln this morning…soft green landscape bowls…porcelain body,
and matt white and copper glazes with some copper brushwork.
fishing
working up a few schools of fish with indigo and fabric printing ink for the #artisansinthegardens event in the Botanic Gardens in Sydney 14-23 of October this year.
alchemy ?
glazing small fat jugs today, with my copper matt glaze which usually does nice things with a variable dip of glaze…love the alchemy of glaze and clay, and importantly, fire!!! this quite lovely soft colour as is, will, through fire, become a dark matt copper colour….with, importantly, variations…giving the surface of the pot more energy! this is the addiction for me.
Gypsy the water dog ?
last firing I discovered this lovely big bowl had a little crack underneath so it has become a waterbowl for Gypsy out under the tap in the garden……. she likes to drink and then immerse herself in the experience!!
more landlines
a favourite out of the kiln last week…a landscape planter…felt a bit like gardening, putting in borders/lines (hedges?) and then allowing riotous growth between …love the flow of watery cobalt oxide with different brushes, playing with patterns and elements of landscape. approx. 19cm h and 19cm w. porcelain.
