Trojan

Here I am playing with the question "what is a painting?"

Tania

My favourite teacher and friend Tania Rolland. (No offence Stevie B an Mdog Merran) this piece is for you. Why.. cause your awesome! And so is this :-)

It is s ceramic painting. Through and through !

Cone wars

This is CP (ceramic painting) Cone Wars detail. Those bright purples and greens are all Copper Flambe glaze layered with a simple white satin recipe, mixed with the white of the cones it sets off the orange of the iron wash. I am happy with the colours, there was a risk that the iron would be too dark or the brown would kill the pinks but it's totally nice the way it is.
Its a shame I has a hairline crack but that's a good reminder that everything is fragile.
