Some before and after shots.
An after and before shot. The bowl below was decorated with yellow ochre where you see the bright bands of yellow. I was very excited until it came to me in the middle of the night that when fired, the ochre would turn brown, since it is a weak form of iron oxide. And it did. So I am trying a rutile wash on the next pots (more bowls and mug forms). Some of the little reddish dots also "moved a bit" down the side of the pots and I tried some glass runs in the bottom of the bowls but they were too thick so I have some serious crazing.
The thing I love about new work is the excitement and push to bring the vision into the physical world.
The thing I hate about new work is the trial and error.
