My Useful Art

"Steampot"

I wanted to make a functional ceramic piece that looked like it was metal. I made "screws" and used a glaze  that looked like it was rusting. I think it was high fire "Shino". It works too!

"Ocean Cup and Tray Set"

 I used a "Transparent turquoise" glaze for the outside, "Tenmoku" for the barnacles and "Temple Orange" for the starfish. I also carved sharks onto the sides using a blue slip overcoat 

"Seedpod vase"

I used the seed of a dandelion for inspiration. The glaze was medium fire "hare's fur" and "shino".
