I don’t know if this autumn and winter had me day dreaming of the sun and warmth, but my work suddenly got a lot more colored. I also began testing clays containing quite a bit of grog (tiny particles mixed in with the clay body). If I can’t have the sand under my feet, it will at least be at the tip of my fingers!

Akra planters

Small ceramic planters made of raku clay, mixed with a bit of porcelain and painted with underglazes. The interior is covered with underglaze and a transparent glaze.

Colored tumblers

Tumblers made of a mix of raku clay and porcelain. The interior is covered with underglaze and topped with a clear glaze.

Small colored bowls

Tiny bowls made with raku clay and painted with underglaze, with a coat of clear glaze. The plates are hand built with porcelain, painted with underglaze and topped with clear glaze.

Small colored bowls Big celadon bowl

A medium sized bowl made with porcelain, mixed with a bit of raku clay and the interior is coated with a semi-transparent celadon glaze.
