2015-01-22 - Thursday - Glazing bowls

Thursday I glazed another batch of bowls for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina's Empty Bowls event. I played with slip, underglaze, wax resist, and glazes on the surfaces again. I'm really getting into my surfaces these days.

Before.

After.

I'm looking forward to seeing these finished. If you are too, please check back.

You know I'll post photos. :8^)

July 13 - Saturday - New pots

I got my two-piece pots back from the kiln on Saturday and was very pleased with them.  I will take some better photos as soon as I have a chance.

On some of these I did the wax resist idea that I've been using and on the last two I sprayed most of the glazes using a masking technique.

An evolution of glaze ideas.

One of my favorites.

February 15 - Fired Empty Bowls

Here are finally some of my Empty Bowls that are glazed and fired.  I have tried making some patterns using wax resist on top of one glaze and then dipping a second glaze to achieve these variations.  My friend Kim does a lot of wax resist work and I was inspired by her work.

February 7 - Glazing Empty Bowls

Tuesday I started glazing my Empty Bowls.  I decided to try some wax resist work on them since I was inspired by Kim's bowls.  She does a lot more layers and colors on her bowls, but I started simply with two colors overlapping with some wax on the first layer.  I was really getting inspired and the designs were flowing freely.  I can't wait to see how they fire.
