2015-06-21 - Sunday - Glazing faces

Sunday I glazed some of the face pots I've been making recently. As I've said before, I used to dread glazing, but now it's one of my favorite parts of the process. It's very liberating to let go and be free with my surface treatments.

Incidentally, I found this post of my first face pot from 2011. Hubert still lives on my shelf in his bisque-fired state.

Waxed and ready for glaze.

Glazed and ready for the kiln.

October 12 - First face

I have been meaning to try making faces since I attended Peter Lenzo's workshop in 2008.

I finally got around to it.

It's not bad, but it needs a lot more refinement.  Hopefully it's the first of many so I have a chance to get better at it.  Those are porcelain eyes, BTW.

I don't know who he is, but he's a bit smirky.
