Don't you just want to give this wee' lovely a kiss?
This super adorable vase will look great with flowers & great without....Great facing this way & great facing that way either way it's simply adorably,(if I dare say so myself!).
Each of my pieces of work are one of a kind, depending on how I feel in that moment when I enter my studio..
The vase is made using a hand building technique, known as "pinching". I use white clay with 1% grog which I feel enhances the depth in my work. After I have finished pinching the initial shape of the vase I then start to sculpt the expression onto the vase. At this stage I feel like my work becomes alive. Originally my influence came from the idea of fancy dress but quickly turned into the essence of who we feel we are ,how we want others to see us or how we truly feel....
After I have finished making the vase I paint it with copper oxide ,after it's dried I take a damp sponge and remove the majority of the oxide, leaving elements of oxide to enhance the expression....I then paint over the oxide with colored engobes. After the 1st firing I paint the inside of the bowl with glaze & then re-fire to 1186 degrees.
