Project update; point of field.

Hey guys so the last 2 weeks I've been in the Jewellery workshop whipping up some samples and breaking lots of saw blades.
I'm really excited what I've been making and I've been really enjoying my theme and using plastics.


I've also being making some ceramic decal tiles and playing around with plaster bats, painting colored slip on them then covering them in normal porcelain slip to create a colorful tile.

Glaze

This week I have been playing with glazes, which can be quite daunting to someone who is quite clueless!
Once you get into measuring and see the turn out of each stains and oxides. I tried experimenting with porcelain tiles, it's quite hard to get the outcome you want with high fired clay but I would like to use porcelain slip in my future final pieces.
I'ts been fun experimenting with glazes but I've just ordered some decals also of some line drawings I have done and paintings so they will be interesting to see out the kiln.
I have continued making tiles and playing.

Here are just a few of my samples I've made.
