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 peach for the undercoat. I then loosely brushed on red and orange slip. I then sponged on a pink layer of spots that let the bright colours peep through.
My inspiration was layering colour upon colour to build up a rich and vibrant finish.
