April 2008

- Wheel Thrown
- Laguna B-mix
- Carved while leather hard
- Burnished with terra sigilata while bone dry
- Fired in a foil saggar [link] with ferric chloride, horse hair, and sugar.
- No glaze on this piece. The colors are from the fumes and smoke from the ingredients burning inside the foil saggar. The shine is from burnishing/polishing the pot before it was fired the first time.

I decided to play with texturing and trying to highlight the texture in the saggar firing. It didn't quite work out like I expected it to, but I still like the result and learned some new stuff in the process! :)

The carving was fun. I was purposely trying to give it movement, so I'm glad to see that came across on the piece.

That's a really fantastic peice! Reminds me of waves during a fiery sunset! Very impressive how you've manipulated the markings to follow the texture!

That's exactly what I was thinking too. I'm learning more and more how to control the markings in these firings, so I'm starting to experiment now with the carving. Thanks for the comment! :)

Woah, it's like a cats eye and mars mixed together... so wait how did you burnish it so well? What kind of tool wouldn't take tons of hours to make the entire surface shiny?

ooh, your right... I see the cats eye! :) I use terra sigilata and polish it with a piece of plastic bag to get the shine. I made sure and got in all of the little divets with my finger while I was polishing it.
