Looking at the End of the Session

Looking at the End of the Session

This ceramics session has flown by. We had our last class last week and I managed to get 2 pieces back. I have 4 others that are either glazed and waiting for the glaze kiln to be fired or loaded into the bisque kiln and I haven't received them yet. This is an orb that represents pollen. I had a magazine picture of an amalgam of different pollen and I just picked one - I have no idea what plant produced it but it is pretty in my eyes nonetheless.

I glazed this one using Super T on the rounded protuberances and Oribe on the pointer ones. Again since there weren't any stilts I was forced to manually remove the glaze from each point so it wouldn't stick to the kiln shelf. The super T has a speckled appearance with the turquoise color showing up in the creases and a beautiful Kelly green with a lighter green mottled on all the rounded parts. The Oribe was carefully applied to be every thin in hopes it would remain a minty green. I am very happy that all went as planned!
