Slowly slowly getting back into it

So after a break and a false start, pots are beginning to emerge again. These two are from a series of three, the third awaiting firing. So the double tier pot uses new glazes, Lime Shower and Blue Green. Blue green internal with the top tier Lime shower layered over Blue green – still making my mind up about that. Shardesque II is the sequel to Shardesque, made from the same mould but didn’t finish up quite as I’d hoped. The intention was for a red and silver internal but the silver (the cause of all the problems previously) was used as the internal glaze so that it running wouldn’t be an issue. However, it just went brown/black not a trace of silver on exactly the same kiln programme as previously.

In the works is a bowl using more new glazes, a 3D doodle, a hand-built, wheel-finished, textured pot, a lidded bottle and a gash bowl. I’ve made several attempts at bigger pots but centring properly for large amounts of clay has let me down and the clay is being recycled!
