Etched Vase

this vase i threw with white stoneware. then i forgot about it. then weeks later i found it in no shape to be trimmed. after re-wetting it i had the idea to carve random lines into it. then after bisque-firing, i first glazed with tomato red. then i wiped excess of and reglazed with green celadon to achieve this look.

i like the contrast of the bright red and the translucent green. i think this color combination would be beautiful on a plate with carvings. i want to experiment with the combination again and perhaps make a set of bowls and plates? or maybe cups? or even tiles with etched designs on it.

Bubble Glaze Bowl + *bonus* cat investigating

here is my most successful bubble glaze experiment thus far. on this bisque-fired white stoneware bowl i blew bubbles with black underglaze mixed with water and foaming hand soap. then, i glazed on top of that with green celadon. it was then cone 6 electric fired.

i love how to green celadon glaze gave the black bubbles a bluish hue. on the inside, where there was a high concentration of pigment from the bubble glaze, i notice that the celadon glaze creates a metallic-ish finish. i wonder if that is the foam soap in the bubble glaze reacting with the celadon? im unsure, i'll need to experiment more to determine if that is the case. i really want to make a set with this black underglaze + green celadon combo, its soooo beautiful imo. i think it would be stunning on a plate or a flat bowl or a tile.
