Ha so back to business, or is it fun ? When It comes to art I can never tell.
Either way- it has sparked ideas of demonstrations of pouring glass crucibles into paintings - to actually paint wuh the liquid glaze - but these dreams are limited only by my facilities available to me.
I am hungering for a gas kiln and stoneware temperatures, as well as lots of space, raku tools and equipment , as well as practice time and finally an audience!
The plan is thrilling -
To make a few ceramic cups. Fill them to the brim with glaze and found glass. Have a clay canvas made and put it all into the firing (some normal glazes partially covering the canvas to act as an anchor )... the firing is to go to just below stoneware temps- to activate the glazes and make sure it all got sticky... then when it has cooled at about 600 - open up that bad boy and pick up the cups of glaze and pour them onto the clay canvas - all sitting in the kiln - and let it all goo around and flow in a wierd and crazy unusual way.... who knows - depending on the temperature intervals I could pour the glaze like sugar and spin it into something that branches out of the surface....
Perhaps into a window of glass itself...
Buhm buhm bahhmmm
