Green n Blue wash Cup

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. I decorated using colour washes loosely applied with a wide brush and mono printing.

My inspiration was the summer haze of a hot day in my back garden.
