The month before the annual communal wood firing is my busiest month in the year. I have made a few new vessels inspired by my visit to the Israel Museum last time I visited Jerusalem. A few images of the vessels that inspired me and a few image of the vessel that came from under my hands.
I love the colours that the chemicals and food scraps leave on my pots. A few examples of what goes inside the clay pods I encase them with.
This is how they come out of the pod….
And this is how they going to look on someone’s mantle……..
The first firing didn’t go so well so I had to raise the temperature and do it all again. This time with glorious results. I am so happy with the way the colours came out I would like to share them with you…..
And some mugs less colourful. I can’t imagine my coffee in a bright blue mug….. can you?
