A request from my kids to make shot glasses, made this morning from porcelain.
Home clay fired at cone 10 , this test tile will be a start of others. (see below) added a slip of brick clay and copper and iron oxide too.
My interest in ceramics and photography is often overlapping. Objects of interest to me sometimes come from random fallen leaves or layering of mountain range upon mountain range. A blending of glaze over textured clay gives controlled random color. A clay surface becomes a focus for flat abstract photograph. Leaf or flower structure becomes inspiration for ceramic texture. Finding the art is my goal.
Max, those test tiles look GREAT! So many fine possibilities there! Nice display in your office too. You certainly have enough work to put a "for sale" sign up. Why don't ya?
ReplyDeleteI am getting a little more serious about it. Since that is about i/3 of what I have. No consistant style but I may never have that! Check back in a few for by #2 raku and a better shot of Sculpture #1
ReplyDeleteI'll stick them in the car to show you next time we meet at studio.
