Spanish brown clay, transparent glaze and sprinkled copper oxide powder

German white clay, this piece in a little heavy, since its thicker then the other two.

because of the white clay, the green coloring of the copper oxide came out very nice.

some rice bowls

usually i use copper oxide in its powder form. but on this one, i took a wire from an electric cable

for these two, i used the powder. first to fill a grove and the other as a sprinkle

a batch of bowls

2009-11-15T13:49:00.001-08:00

these are some pictures of my latest batch, i just took out of the kiln.

Spanish red clay with embedded copper oxide, transparent glaze

German off white clay, engraving filled with copper oxide, transparent glaze only on the inside. the vesicle was posted up side down in the kiln, so the excess copper oxide dripped to what seems to be upwards

German black clay, with pedestals. fire-yellow glaze, only on the inside of the vesicle.

German white clay, with a thick layer of copper oxide on the diameter, transparent glaze.

Tea Pots in the making

2009-11-12T00:53:00.001-08:00

These are a couple of tea pots I've made lately

they are both from red clay, structured by two spheres that were merged together.

each took me 3 hours to make, but i enjoyed every minute.
