Out of the bisque, these orchid pots to the left are ready for staining. I'll throw some iron oxide stain on them (rust, dontcha know) then put them through the final firing. Above they are stained, not much difference. The two lighter ones are porcelain instead of the red clay and they have peacock glaze on them. They'll be BLUE, believe it or not, once they are fired. The oxide will darken on the red ones and look rustic.

I'm happy with it, the coiled tile plaque with 'whistling fish pottery' across it should work nicely. :)

Clay has always fascinated me, its many colors and textures, the shapes you can create using it, even the feel of it squishing in my hand. Even after years of playing in the mud I find myself exploring new ideas and I hope my work shows this. Archives
