Art on Pottery

[wayfaringwordhack]

 (reposted from an art forum so as not to keep all my eggs in one basket)

I wanted to have a painting to share, but the brushes and oils are still gathering dust on the shelf.  Instead, I did a bit of scraffito on some tumbers that I really liked.

 

 

Since it was so much fun, I made a couple more in local clay and then covered them in stoneware slip.  They haven't been bisque-fired yet, though.

 

I also successfully made another "sea bowl" after my first one fused to the kiln shelf and cracked.  So glad this one made it.  

 

 

 

My next post will involve more "traditional" art, but still illustrative because the kiddos and I have restarted our Art Prompts again (at the kids' request, which feels great!).

(For some strange reason, there was a glitch when I posted this that put the date at Aug 1 instead of Sept 1.  Has that happened to anyone else?)

The scraffito is lovely. I can't imagine the time and effort. Thank you.

Thanks. :) It does take a while to do it, but it is such a satisfying endeavor.

Your claywork is exquisite.

If you lived near me, I would be begging to buy it.

[wayfaringwordhack]

Thank you! You wouldn't even have to beg! LOL. Then I could have the excuse to MAKE more!!!!

These are so amazing. The cups just knock my socks off!

Hopefully you will like my next ones, too, where I just used local clay with slip over it. I then carved floral designs on them based on plants from our home in France. Can't wait to see them fired.
