I’ve been cleaning my studio so I can move back downstairs soon. Meanwhile I have been painting sippers. I used to make them much smaller. Now I make them big enough to hold a jigger of whisky and, for us heathens, an ice cube.
Not great video but the whole thing is visible in its unfired state.

Exterior of the sunflower bowl is finished. I just have to brush on a thin clear coat. With this glaze, Spectrum Satin, coat of clear gives the colors an extra depth.

Sunflower Bowl in progress. I have been drawing sunflowers in prep for some flower pot planters I am doing. Suddenly became appropriate given the times we are living in.
This is the first time actually painting on the raw glaze. Spectrum Satin white #251 with my own mixed Mason stains. It will have a thin coat of satin clear when I finish painting. One of the things I have learned is that the glaze cannot be too thick when once firing.

Well! It isn’t glazed yet but I have been having fun with making pots from the same form. So far a teapot and a bowl. There are other teapots in the making.
I made the forms out of slop clay and bisque fired them. One form can provide many variations.
It’s still Monday in my heart. Started this yesterday, then was interrupted by a phone call I actually wanted to answer. Then other stuff etc. At least I got something up over on FB.
We are in our usual February weather rollercoaster. In the single digits over the week end, fiftyish yesterday, even warmer today with rain to get cold again at the end of the week with rain or snow, depending on which way the wind blows.
As always, stay safe, and thanks for stopping by…………*s*
