Throwing some shapes… well goblet/bellied mug shapes anyway 🤣. These will be either pink or purple against the grey clay which is a stunning combo ❤️ The clay is Sibelco Scandi Throwing clay and is rather lovely to use, not cheap, but bloomin’ gorgeous ! #pottery #wheelthrown #sibelcoclay #playwithclay #colourfulpottery Thought I’d play with another new clay today, the Sibelco white throwing clay, it’s not cheap so I’ve only got a tester lump of 2.5kg. Going to hopefully put these through my Raku process. The first 3 shapes were my favourites to throw and how they turned out, so I can compare these with my normal clay. And wanted to try a large sphere shape with a whole kilo, which I don’t throw that size very often… It’s buttery soft to throw with, but very easy (for me) to overstretch it when pulling those walls. See pot number 3 for the fail 🙀 . #wheelthrown #potterythrowdown #sibelco #playwithclay Project 2! I’ve always enjoyed my very flat illustrative style and really wanted to try and incorporate it into my pottery somehow, so starting small with this fairly simple Border Collie picture and testing out a process on tiles to see if it’s something I could put onto a pot. I think Raku could really suit a black and white finish for these so more tests on the way! ☺️#pottery #playwithclay I’ve been working on lots of different projects recently, you thought I’d been quiet didn’t you! 🙀 This one has been bubbling in the back of my mind for a long time, using a lovely old style handled half pint glass and turning it into a glorious glazed mug. Even though I bought plaster just for this project I have a feeling it was old as it took weeks to be dry enough to try and cast with it. I’ve even popped it into the oven a couple of times! But it has been mostly successful. #wheelthrown #pottery #slipcast #test #playwithclay Lovely bit of throwing today, gave myself time to enjoy the process and put some cool tunes on. But oh boy was it cold! Heater on, hot water bottle on, and using hot water to throw with and my hands were still frozen, but a lot of fun was had. These shapes are pretty tricky and my clay was probably a bit too soft… but I like a challenge 😁 #wheelthrown #pottery #playwithclay Here are my starting drawings for the mugs I recently threw. Then the handles got pulled a couple of days ago. Today was tidying them up for the last time before popping them back into a box to homogenise the wetter and drier clay. I want some of these to be pink and some to be green, does pink and green work together🤣 not sure about that, but might try a test tile… #pottery #mugs #pink #wheelthrown
