STUFF I MAKE FROM CLAY
Scrafito technique.
I cut through the painted slip and underglaze to reveal the raw clay beneath.
This pot took seven seperate firings. One bisque, two underglaze, one clear glaze, and three onglaze enamel
It's the largest pot I ever made. Massive! It was thrown on the wheel in three seperate sections, then assembled and turned when 'leather hard'.
Note to self: must learn how to use a camera!

To make the clothes, I soak fabric in casting slip. When fired in the kiln, the fabric burns away leaving a stoneware impression of the draped fabric.
Same technique here, using lace, wooden buttons and string.
Grumpy old bag!
Go away, you smelly old lady.

I made these silkscreened transfers using ceramic onglaze.
A loathsome, time-consuming technique I would never recommend.

When firing transfers in the kiln, the resulting fumes are HIGHLY toxic. My tutor knew a girl who slept in her kiln room while firing transfers. She never woke up!
