Indian Print Vases

One of my current favourite techniques is to hand build vases and cups using clay that i have stamped using my collection of Indian fabric block prints.

Pit Firing Pots with Joy

I discovered the adventure of pit firing with my new favourite woman, Joy. See the above markings and and amazing textures on those pots above? That was all the result of pit firing, my new favourite thing to do on the weekend. Yes my weekends get pretty wild.

Ceramic Vase - Indian Block Prints

I started to experiment with the collection of timber fabric wood blocks that I bought in India with the ceramics I have been working on. I love the subtle result of this pattern on the vase I threw on the wheel.

Ceramic Tea Set

So I'm just going to put it out there. I had a 4 month gap between posts. Shocking I know. Even this sloth was making me feel guilty. For my hundreds of fans all I can say is SORRY. I haven't been lazy, there have been many things in the pipeline, articles being written, ceramics being thrown and glazed, magical trips to Brazil, folio work sucking me dry and it hasn't been until now that any of it has come to fruition. It's just the creative process. But I recently took a few bits and piece out of the kiln, including this little tea set and jug and am able to finally post something! I love this glaze (F4R3) it's so Japanese-y and gorgeous.
