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.

New Stuff, different direction exploring
P5 clay with transparent glazes, a little more finished than usual for me.
It is a new transparent emerald green in our studio glazes, poured it over the piece sitting in a basin. The bottom edge came out too thick with this method, will put something under it next time. The bowl with a small foot I had a root from a wisteria vine (I don't throw anything away, I call it my ugly stick) and "beat the outside to give it a random texture.

Beautiful pieces and color, how did you achieve the green?

ReplyDeleteYou have great talent with "finished" pieces as well as your "rustic" ones. Bravo to you sir. Love the transparent green.
