Moon Rock Textured Bowl




Soldate 60
Matte Black exterior
Gloss Black inside

Kinda ambivalent about this bowl...



I like the graphite quality to the exterior glaze, but not happy with the inside. It turned an uneven brown.

Handbuilt Mess





Soldate 60
Heavenly Lavender

I worked so HARD on this bowl and it came out a mess....much too much glaze.

MINI's




BMIX
Heavenly Lavender and Mag Yellow drips

I love the color combo - unglazed bmix with these glazes..

YEAH! Finally One I like!




Soldate 60
White gloss with Korean Blue dripped on lip.

I love the shape of this vase and the texture of the glaze....

Handbuilt Bowl



Soldate 60
White Gloss

2nd attempt with gloss white on soldate - I thought I applied the glaze pretty heavy, but the soldate still showed through...

Porcelain Lamp



Coleman Porcelain
Unglazed

This lamp was the best piece to turn out from my handbuilding class.
Really shrunk a lot - at some point I need to remake the base larger, so it is more stable.
Maybe make some more - glazed?

Soldate 60
Korean Blue

This large platter was more bowl shaped, but flattened in the kiln.
Again, I scraped off too much glaze....

Bowls over Plaster Forms


Soldate 60 with Porcelain inlays
LongBeach Blue
Disaster!! The Inlay was ugly.
This bowl also warped in the kiln - too thin?



Soldate 60
White Gloss
This was the second attempt at this bowl after I broke the first one.
I scraped off too much glaze and the exposed soldate looked messy - I need to work on my glazing!

First Porcelain Pieces

My First Piece



Soldate 60

This is the first piece I made in my handbuilding class. It looks better in the photo than in real life.
