Clay and plaster models.

The last week was quite hard for me as I got stuck with my project and wasn't sure which direction I should go. I wanted to do something in clay that will reflect my plastic models but then I felt that I should do something different.

As usual in this type of situation I spent hours just looking at what was straight in front of my nose and kept asking myself ' What to do next?? And how to do it??'
I finally have made few pinch pots - will add photos next week when I'll get back home.
When I was making them I have realised that it's not what I want to do but will use them anyway - you never know where the next idea is going to come from.

Last few days I was stragling with making moulds- I don't like making them but I know I need them :).
I spent two days trying to get around mould-making but in the end was forced to do it.
So far I have prepared  some plaster models.







I am in Poland now, just for the week and will post some info about International Lodz Design Festival which just started last Thursday.

Naked Raku

In the end of January I have attended a Naked Raku workshop in Thomastown organised by  Ceramics Ireland . I already was familiar with both Raku and Naked Raku but wanted to extend my knowledge in this field. Naked Raku is a firing technique in which the pot is masked with the slip and then glazed and fired @ 1000 C then the kiln is opened and pots are transferred to the reduction chamber filled with sawdust, and covered to accommodate the reduction process. The difference between the Raku and Naked Raku is that in the second process the glaze is pealed off after firing and the pot unglazed- Naked. It all seems quite confusing and a bit complicated but in fact it is very simple, fast and effective way of decorating ceramics. The only disadvantage is that the pot is porous and can be use only as decoration as it is not food safe. With time the smoke marks can get lighter which can be slowed down by applying oil or floor polish paste on pots. ...
