Continuing on with my WTF experimentation, inspired by Mary Fox's book. I forgot to take a picture of the orange terra sigillata tiny plate once it came out of the kiln after the oxide wash and the borax went onto it. The oxide was was nice... But I was too timid with the borax sprinkles. In any case, onwards. It how has a base transparent glaze applied (the white), and then I interfered with the leftovers of it, and added some stains to the glaze mix, and did shit. #pottery #ceramics

Small plate with layers of glazes applied on top of each other in an abstractish pattern of swooshes and dots.

Meanwhile, I made up this recipe for Lana's Chun - a beautiful low fire recipe that seems interesting. In the recipe it is tinted with a small amount of copper carbonate, but I split the recipe in half, added the copper to half of it, and a tiny amount of cobalt oxide to the other, just to see what happens.

And also, I made some tiny little bowls with a few different colours of terra sig, to be bisqued, in preparation to see how they go with the glaze I just mixed up.

On my not so WTF project, the failed glaze that began to look like Oribe ware to me, one has come out of the oven. There's a tiny bit of crawling, but I can rectify that because it needs to go back in with a final coat of food-safe glaze on top.

And, of course, a curious Dora. #Pottery #ceramics
