School starts Tuesday, and I’m so excited! I wonder what new skills and knowledge I will learn this semester. For now, though, I will share something from last semester.
I think this is the first cup I threw—well, the first successful cup. I went a little fancy on the handle and curled it up. By the way, I had fun pulling handles. I set myself up in my own room with a gallon bucket of water and a lump of clay. (I can’t figure out how to explain the process, so just look it up on YouTube if you are really curious). A mold I had made worked great to add three little roses in a cluster. I used a rubber stamp to add some delicate swirls to the rim and handle. After it was bisque fired, I painted the swirls with white under-glaze, the roses with pink, the base with white and pink, and the main body with browns. With a clear glaze on top of that all, it is food safe! (Safe to drink your favorite hot drink)
More ceramic posts to come…

ReplyDeleteThanks. I plan on taking it in the fall--in an independent sort of way.
