Pomegranate Vase (medium)

Description

Handmade using white or terracotta earthenware clay, decorated with coloured engobe slips and oxides and finished using a glossy glaze. For purely decorative pieces areas may be left unglazed and finished with a wax. I work in small batches mixing the colours as I go, therefore sets may vary slightly.

I rolled out a slab of clay, cut out the body and base using a card template and made the form. To decorate i used a peach base and brushed on thin layers of red, pink and orange.

My inspiration was loosely based on the pomegranate.
