Today i applied terra sigillata to a batch of my latest shapes. I have been working to get the perfect finish
on the terra after the raku fire. This is the terra that will crack for me in the raku .
Ceramic art and techniques.
This is the latest work i am busy with. I am working on the finish i will get after firing,i am wanting the top of the crackle to sinter out just a bit so i can add what ever i want to the background body.
Here are some pics of lamp shades that are made from porcelain with a wash out technique before bisc fire. The blue is a diluted solution of cobalt sulphate . They have a cone 6 satin glaze on them.
This large bottle form i came up with today. The top was turned on the wheel and the sides are made on the slab roller.Here i have used a stoneware clay and just before the final kneading i added some red iron oxide to a handfull of clay and then mixed it in to get the marks.This i am hoping will burn through a thin slip i will apply later.
