Love The Bowls!

I produced several different style of bowls in my

last batch of work, both hand built and thrown.

Some with unique added surface treatments.

Love Bowl: 8"x 4.5", wheel thrown, cone 6

with Cherry Blossom glaze. Hand stamped

words wrap the upper rim. Words include:

Love, Peace, Joy, Pottery

Brocaded Square Bowl: Hand built, Cone 6

with interior of multiple glazes poured in

randomly. Outside surface has a hand

stamped brocade texture. Rim is uneven and

varies in height.

Set of 4 Bowls (only 2 shown): Metallic black mat

interior with combination of glazes on exterior

to replicate wood fired finish. Cone 6 in electric

kiln.

Tea Cups & New Glazes!

I have a love for Japanese craft and

especially their ceramics. Below is a small study

of new glazes using my small Japanese inspired

form.

All cups are about 2.5"H x 2.25 Diameter, Wheel thrown

with stamped flower design. Cone 6. Electric Kiln.

These two cups were glazed by dipping using two

different glazes which gives a warm earthen wood

fired appearance.

Red Tea Cups, High Gloss Red. I have been

working on a red of this quality for over a

year.

Blue Green Tea Cups. Glaze broke brown on

the interior surfaces?

Copper Patina Glaze. Very Art's N Crafts

inspired and exactly what I was hoping for.

HOT to Fire

Heat Index has been up to 110 degrees this week in the Ozarks and I decided to fire my kiln!

My studio interior temperature neared 100 degrees as the kiln reached Cone 6.

Below are just a couple of pieces from the firing, but watch over the next few days as I post more images.

I am excited about my glazing! I am finally getting a couple of things I like zeroed in that I will be using more consistently going forward.

Set of 4 Bowls (Two Pictured), 6"x 2.5", Wheel Thrown with multiple glazes.

The Twins, Wheel Thrown and cut in half and altered with stamped brocade texture added to interior walls. The exterior of this piece uses a combination of two glazes that I have discovered gives a wood fired appearance! I am excited about this combination.
