I made a basic vase and buscuit fired it, brought it home, put it in a metal bucket with newspaper, and some straw, and set fire to it! ( never play with matches kids!)
when it was cool I brushed it off and polished it with clear shoe polish....I dint have any bees wax, which is the best stuff to use! the smoke gives the pottery a wonderful warm brown grey colour which is perminant, to make the stripes I had put some masking tape on before burning, the polish leaves it with a lovely luster, and shall we say, and intresting aroma! I love smoked pots, when ever I see any in a gallery I cant resist sniffing them! if you look close you will see the texture on the pot, I rolled the clay on one of my daughters cloth nappies that I sound in the cupboard! you can see the stiches and the seams! ( and yes, it was a lovely clean nappy!) I am going to try it with some more pots over the next few weeks, this pot by the way, now lives on my desk with my pens in it, my 7 year old said it looked like a zebra's ear, so thats what its called. ZEBRA'S EAR. ![]() this small plate was decorated with grey and white slip, buscuit fired and then clear glazed! Im very fond of this one as it reminds me of encaustic! ![]() Ive got 4 items in the kiln being glazed so lets hope I can bring them home this comming week! I get my moneys worth dont I!
