Gone a bit OTT making this cooking pot, because it’s the first proper thing I’ve made in ages! :O Looking forward to thinking about how to glaze this once it’s been in the kiln! :-)

It’s @getcreativeuk and #heyclay weekend. Last year as usual was free open day with 60 odd members of enthusiastic public throwing pots at Woodsetton Art Pottery. One massive biological disaster later and so we’re back to basics here at home, Neolithic BBQ firing instead. It’s known to work; the whole of human history is catalogued using potsherds. So we thought we’d make some of those! No biscuit firing here so join us for potential disaster as the sun dips below the horizon of the Black Country. Materials collected ready and the Campari is essential, it’s flammable after all. See you later 🤪💥. #heyclay #craftscouncil #leach100 #leachpottery #pottery #neolith #pitfiredpottery #pitfire #pitfired #pitfiredceramics #clay #raku #fire #firepit #firefighter (at Woodsetton, Dudley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CASy6Y-j4EJ/?igshid=8ol1rsp4w5wj

As part of #heyclay I’ve created a quick Sometsuke demo. Swipe through to see each step I take when decorating my work. ⁣ ⁣ I use a mixture of cobalt oxide and tea, creating 3 different tones that I use to build up my design on bisque ceramic. Rather than using water for the mixture, tea allows the cobalt to bond stronger to the surface. ⁣ ⁣ Steps: ⁣ 1. Using a graphite pencil lightly draw your design onto the ceramic surface. When fired in the kiln the graphite will burn away. ⁣ ⁣ 2. Using the lightest tone paint the areas that you want to be the lightest in colour. When fired it will be a light shade of blue. ⁣ ⁣ 3. Using the middle tone, darken up the areas, again when fired it will be darker than the first tone. ⁣ ⁣ 4. When you are happy with your shading add the line work using the darkest tone. For this step I use a very fine brush to get cleaner lines. ⁣ ⁣ 5. Add any extra details and you’re done! Add a transparent glaze over the top preferably by dipping, pouring or spraying. Do not brush on the glaze as it will smudge your design!⁣ ⁣ Check out the other workshops taking place this weekend as part of #heyclay from these makers and get involved! ⁣ @ceramicstracey ⁣ @roisinceramics ⁣ @drysdaleceramics ⁣ @zaraceramics ⁣ @clairemccceramics ⁣ @aaronstewartceramics⁣ ⁣ @craftscouncil ⁣ @uu_cjs ⁣ @belfastschoolofart ⁣ @uusu_online ⁣ @uniquebelfast ⁣ @uusuvpbelfast ⁣ @louoboyle ⁣ @ulsteruni ⁣ @ulsteruniartsevents ⁣ @craft.ni ⁣ ⁣ #heyclay #getcreativeathome #proudofuu #bsoa2020 #nationaldrawingday #nationaldrawingday2020 #ceramics #slipcast #sometsuke #surfacedecoration #painting #cobalt #cobaltoxide #tea #drawing #illustration #demo #animal #bunny #rabbit #belfastschoolofart (at Lisburn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQRj7xjSN2/?igshid=6p6phgwmbm2l

This weekend I will be taking part in #heyclay doing a quick demo of how I decorate my work through the use of a surface decoration technique called Sometsuke. Join in on the fun and don’t worry if you don’t have clay at home to paint on, grab a pen and paper and doodle your own designs!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Check out the other ceramicists from @belfastschoolofart tagged below who are getting involved this weekend. They will be offering a series of online workshops for you to get involved in, including throwing, hand building, slipcasting, and underglaze decoration. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ @roisinceramics⁣⁣ @drysdaleceramics ⁣⁣ @aaronstewartceramics⁣⁣ @zaraceramics ⁣⁣ @ceramicstracey ⁣⁣ @trixiecrafts ⁣⁣ @lisarobson60 ⁣⁣ @clairemccceramics ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ @craftscouncil ⁣⁣ @uu_cjs ⁣⁣ @belfastschoolofart ⁣⁣ @uusu_online ⁣⁣ @uniquebelfast ⁣⁣ @uusuvpbelfast ⁣⁣ @louoboyle ⁣⁣ @ulsteruni ⁣⁣ @ulsteruniartsevents ⁣⁣ @craft.ni ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #heyclay #getcreativeathome #proudofuu #bsoa2020 #ceramics #slipcasting #sometsuke #cobalt #blueandwhite #bowl #tile #surfacedecoration #illustration #drawing #animals #rabbit #owl #flowers #belfastschoolofart (at Lisburn) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALJCx3D99e/?igshid=idc00jb2w735
