Cavy Fire Studios Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 This bowl measures about 10" across and 3" tall. It's for my fella, who fancies himself a fox with corgi colors, and has a fondness for tea and coffee. ♥ Main colors are Duncan EZ and Mayco Underglaze. Blacks are Clay Art Center's baltic black A and Amaco's black velvet (watered down for shading). This is greenware, Clay Art Center's X-Tra White.

PRankin Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Your artwork is amazing! Were you an artist before pottery or did both of those skills develop and merge at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavy Fire Studios Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon. My grandma was a huge influence in my artistic upbringing... she used to cut out pictures of animals in magazines for drawing references. She was so awesome... I took my first ceramics class in 2003, but I was a strict handbuilder. The wheel and I were notttt friends. I didn't touch clay again until 2008, and it was pretty life-changing. My work was handbuilt at first, but the next year, I had a tantrum and the wheel and I slowly became friends. I tell you, I worked my rodent butt off for it, too!! I wasn't one of those "natural potters" who pick up throwing like a second nature; it was a REAL struggle for me. There was gratuitous swearing, growling, stomping, and clay-throwing involved!! But, five years and HOURS of practice later, voÃla! I can make pieces that are functional and have pretty paintings on them. Learning the art of underglazing was pretty frustrating, too...what works, what doesn't... That's why I try'n be as helpful with underglaze topics as possible!
