cobalt painted porcelain jars with different handles for a bit of fun,
for plants or wooden kitchen tools, brushes, blossom, or whatever.
new jars
blossom jars
Japonica down the bottom of the garden has decided to come out in bloom happily for my stoneware matt white glazed jar !!
stoneware bowls
stacked some stoneware bowls to make more room on the bench, walked past this morning and saw them differently…the continuing studio juxtapositioning of clay shapes tools texture and glazing.
brush marks
Mini mark making on porcelain pieces turned into earings with handmade sterling silver ‘findings’ or hooks…working in a change of scale, alternating methods of working stimulate ideas and process.
Fave jar out of the kiln yesterday/ stoneware and copper glaze… love the edges of glaze that meet raw clay with an iron blush !!
my favourite time of year…autumn and cyclamen time…and planter jars !!!
nest of bowls
last weeks firing of stoneware bowls …slightly different shape of tiny bowls (pips, olives, chilly sauce…) to fit around large bowls for maximum use of kiln shelf space…
porcelain and cobalt
light and shadow
musing while using cobalt washes on porcelain pieces about how to
maybe work with a flat surface, canvas or wood…with brushes and real paint…
so canvases of about a meter square have proved a liberating change of pace (while waiting for clay to dry )
2022 in the studio
continuing with porcelain thrown forms and cobalt oxide brushwork…. this week pushing to try these ideas on a canvas with acrylic paints…. loving the physical energy of making marks.
