| Another of my small vases formed with torn slabs and coils, but the black glaze kind of hides how it was made! |
 |
| This second black vase only has one red button. And a bit of another glaze was added around the rim, flowing with some misty greys. |
 |
| The black glaze was a bit too thick on this vase, covering some of the decorations, and adding a drip to the kiln shelf. A bit of another glaze on the top rim did give some drippy fog against the black. But my biggest surprise was that this vase shrunk so much...much more than 15% that I usually expect. From a 7" height it now is only 4.5 inches. |
It shrank THAT MUCH?!
ReplyDeleteI like the band of little red dots on the first vase.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot shrinkage, what clay are you using? The stoneware I use is about 12%
