After leaving graphics

I'm in ceramics now and have a look at what I've been up to since transfer.

Paper clay. These are Elaine's samples of how to create an image on a slab of clay with paper stencils and different colour slips.


and then I tried some myself... 

unfortunately the orange never turned out as bright after glazing with transparent crackle glaze and firing, it changed to white.


we also did printing
it is supposed to look like a turtle, but yeah...



When everybody else were working on their ranking project pieces, I was developing my ceramics elective week vessel further. Elaine showed me how to use an extruder.
 i added a little bottomless teacup just to keep them happy ;)


after naked raku firing some of them came out very interesting, but because I had so many pieces each with different designs and plans, not all of them turned out successful.
