Here is a photo of my latest bowl. Veronica took the photo for me as I keep on forgetting to take any photos of my work.
This is a hand built platter that has been fired in reduction (gas). I made the shino glaze using a local clay as the main ingredient. The higher the clay content in a shino glaze the more chance there is of the glaze crawling or beading. I added extra clay as I wanted the glaze to crawl.If you look at the pattern in the glaze you can see four lines where the glaze is really thick and has really started to crawl. The red highlight is a vitreous slip that started to flake off, when it started to flake, I nearly picked it off, I am glad that I didn’t.
I am really happy with this platter, though “The Spouse” doesn’t like it at all. He supposes it could probably be used as a fruit bowl. I just rolled my eyes at him.

Oh gosh I LOVE that. The red is just fantastic.
You go girl!
Stunning Kim. Will be in Hobart tomorrow so will check out the gallery.
Love, Cx
Men! What do they know anways!
Nice. I like that. I can’t think of the word, not rustic but something similar.
My partner says ‘That’s nice’ in a fleeting kind of way if he doesn’t like something or isn’t sure about it. He says ‘That’s NICE’ If he likes something. I have to listen for subtle tones in his voice. lol.
I lost a lot of my drawings when we moved and I have no photos 🙁
Men, pfft.
Love it 🙂
The glaze looks so textured it’s brilliant. And that red is amazing!
It looks like Rice Krispies treats! Do they have ’em there? Puffed rice with marshmallows. Blood streak in the Rice Krispies is a bit disconcerting, though…
That is so incredibly beautiful!! I love your work.
The red streak sets off the rest of the platter nicely.
It’s gorgeous… earthy, rich. The lines remind me of growth ridges on a shell, one that has spent years in the salt marshes, my favorite places. That texture would be great on dragon eggs!
The science of art. Love the beading and the red drama.
Veronica’s photography is so good.
Yes, the red works. And I agree with Janet – can you try that texture on the dragon eggs?
