I have gotten several new items in a different direction (if that is possible for me) of clay and texture. comments welcomed.
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.
how did you apply the oxide? dip/brush? I really like the last two pics in particular. now I want to go to the beach!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what beach sand would do in the gas kiln? Spent tonight prepping some cave art bottles. Since two were made with Craggy Crunch I applied some of what you shared with me and am hoping my results will be half as good as yours.
ReplyDeleteYou are quite a teacher, Max.
Thank you!
Amy, I applied with sponge.
ReplyDeleteBecky, I will try if you don't first. I wounder what would happen in barrel fire.
We could always try it on 5/2? If I can find some sand I might be able to do test tile before the next gas kiln firing. All of your above results have my mind churning.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the free exchange that makes Clayworks a great place to be. We all get inspired by each other and push ourselves in new directions. I am inspired by your new pots and textures and am going to try some in ^5. Great job, Max.
ReplyDeleteThats for the comments. I very much agree John.
ReplyDeleteThats was meant to be thanks, sorry. Can you edit a comment after posting???
