Skyphos number two! Inspired by the very talented @hellenhighwater ‘s Minotaur sculpture, a painting by Flandrin, a sculpture by Paul Cabet, and a very handsome charolais bull from Google images.
studio classes have been kicking my ass this term so i haven't had a lot of time to make art for myself, but! i have some stuff from my ceramics class i'm excited to share!
these little guys have been bisque fired and painted with underglaze - the jackalope should come out a fair bit darker than it looks right now, but the foxes are pretty spot-on for color!
this mug is still waiting to be bisque fired, and once it is the grey-brown color should (hopefully) turn a kind of purple-blue - i mixed two engobes together, which can have unpredictable effects, so fingers crossed lol. i got the idea for the technique from @claypigeonpottery - i've always loved jackalopes and auroras both, and was really inspired by some of their pieces!
I just shipped this ceramic tray off to HollerHouse for their Mini Worlds 2 exhibition, opening Friday, August 4th. Many thanks to @bserway for running such a cool shop and letting me submit a ceramic experiment to the show! I’m excited to share more of my pottery as I learn and grow. 🗝️
There’s a show coming up, and I think I’m going to be able to eke this thing out in time to enter it!
You can probably see some lighter spots of the red; that is from where I scratched some away in order to neaten up some lines. They should even out once fired.
I am doing a one week sale (25% off) if yall wanna check out my shop :3 Now would be a good time to grab a mug especially since theyre all around 25-30 bucks
