My first ceramic pieces

Pod - earthenware, mould form and hand formed, cobalt and copper oxides and clear glass. I wanted a bit more contrast between the glass and clay, I think I should have painted copper oxide, not just sprinkle it. Next time ;)





Shell - earthenware, mould form, sprayed with blue-pink and white glazes. I was hoping for better gradient and more pink, but I cannot compain, I was told that blue-pink glaze is quite temperamental, could be worse.

Test piece - just playing with some sludge. I want to create some more organic form. I noticed one has to be very, very patiant with this technique, as rush work just goes haywire. I think next time, I will try more dense sludge though.
