My Journey 2015


Recommended Posts

Good Morning,Afternoon, Evening to all,

 

Happy New Year and sending out positive energies to all potters out there.

 

I thought I'd share my progress through 2015 with those interested.  I started throwing in October 2014 but had a long break until Fed of 2015. I got my kiln in February and did my first firing then.

And now 2016 awaits. Hopefully my back will co-operate better this year and I'll be able to progress further.  My aim - to throw tall shaped vases/bottles and of course platters, mugs etc.....

I really love your work!  I'm a beginner also so I'm curious as to what glazes you used.  Can you give me a rundown?

Hi Jeddy,

The glazes I used are only available in Johannesburg, South Africa, but here's how I did it. I did a first dip in a matt beige. The second dip was a dark brown. I then scraped down the glazes to thin down. This gave the variation in color. When I threw the pot I made the lines that you see with the dark brown, and by scraping down these lines remained. The thumbnail shows what the inside looks like.
