Tree people

Raku workshop last Thursday with Geoff Bird and Maureen Joyce...go see more pics here!

These are my 2 pieces...sculptural tree people ...though one is being called an angel.  I'll only give a few photos here.

More group photos tomorrow.

The Napolean's Rage glaze turned gorgeous copper colored on just one side...

The other side remains that deep navy blue with iridescent glitters here and there.

White areas are glazed with clear crackle...which also covered the turquoise Mayco glaze, but just a thin coat...not enough to get crackle however.

I made this with some recycled clays, and the construction technique is what I call torn slab.

The Angel

Lower body is glazed in Napoleon's Rage glaze, which is pretty uneventful except in one place

The wings, arms and face were glazed with clear crackle, and this time nice crackles occurred.
