Pomegranate T Plate

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 shape of a simplified pomegranate. I decorated it using a variety of reds, pinks and oranges. When it was touch dry I pressed it into the plaster mould and decorated the interior using a fine paint brush for the detail.

My inspiration was the pomegranate.
