Terracotta Blues 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.

For this vase I used terracotta clay which I rolled out into a slab. To decorate I used a few different shades of blue, one layered on top of another to make a varied and textured surface. I finished it off with a glossy glaze.
