On our first lesson, two weeks ago, we experimented with ceramic slip and porcelain, making small shapes to use in jewellery. It was the first time I had used these techniques, and we had to work quickly, but it was lots of fun.
Today we got our pieces back from the kiln. They were a lot smaller than I remembered!
This is my collection of pieces. There are some fired white slip drops, some mixing of black and white porcelain, some decals, some texturing with fabric, a couple of pieces that were textured with a stamp - and some free-form pieces.
First I made a brooch using cold connections (tabs) out of a piece of the blue (black) porcelain:
Here are some close ups of the pieces. I may use them for other projects.
The photos are a bit rubbish, but you get the idea:
Next week we will be learning more cold connections, tap and die, and hopefully I'll make another brooch.
