Loaded and ready to go...
Ready to unload!!! (Yes, I pulled some pieces out when they were about 300 degrees... naughty)Highlights from the fall semester:
Baby Jars
Mugs... new shape & working on my handles
Big Jar and Baby Jar
Pretty cup!
Another one.
And a cake stand too.EDIT: The red glaze is not a reduction glaze. You would laugh if you knew what it was. Reduction reds are typically copper reds, which are blueish colored in oxidation. (And since this load was oxidation fired...) Our particular studio red is called Oxblood, and it is a temperamental young child. It doesn't play well with others, half the time it doesn't even turn red in reduction, and it runs like crazy. Not my cup of tea. The only time I will use it is all alone in oxidation because I like the light translucent blue that it is. But anyway, the red is a tin/green chrome mixture which is common for burgundy and such color reds. It plays well with others, wouldn't you say. =) And check facebook for more images!!
First of all I propose a mug trade for break. Secondly, I like the new shape your working with in the jars and the mugs it has a nice volume to it. The pretty cups are very impressive too. Is the black an underglaze? slip? I like that your using a lot of white and using in it different ways. There is a nice dichotomy between the cups and the all white pieces.
ReplyDeleteIt's really great to see some of the subtle changes happening in your pieces, along with maintaining some of the aesthetic choices you have always made. I think the white jars are super fab in with their proportion and flow. The lid angle on the white ones make the 'baby jars' look a bit segmented. (only noticeable when compared with the white ones) Where did the red color come from on the cups? Oxidized red reduction glaze? It breaks really well on the piece. You say "working on handles," do you like them? are they resolved? They look good, what's your conclusion?
ReplyDeleteMy only complaint.....you have a giant load of pieces and all we get are six pictures??? :)
