A rare snippet of my decorating process.

@fubaroque Thank you!
Do you happen to have a picture of this one finished. I can imagine the colours from what you say about it, but it would also be nice to see them.

@fubaroque Of course! Iβll show the piece once itβs finished.

Glazing is amazing. I remember how she let me do it on my own master piece. (I was a bit younger then.)But applying the dull βpaintβ while having to imagine what the result will beβ¦ then waiting for the firing and finally seeing what you did. Just magic.

@potterybyosa I am sure that I was planning on more blue in this, at the time. And had to get over some disappointment when I saw what I had in fact done.
But then there has to be at least one defect in every work of art I have heard. π€£

A rare snippet of my decorating process. Here Iβm filling in the monstera pattern on this planter with terra sigillata (a watery, refined clay slip) made with clay from Ontario. This is much different than paintingβitβs basically glaze application. The difference is, Iβm applying three layers of terra sig to achieve my desired result. If I apply the sig too thinly, it will come out brown. Three coats (and proper firing) gives me a rich olive green with a bit of variegation. #pottery #ceramics
@potterybyosa
Your creations are stunning.
You have a gift.
Thank you for sharing it with the world. π§‘ -

@potterybyosa I love watching artists like you explain the magic behind your craft!
I've always enjoyed the organic, variable designs that you can get on pottery, but had never really considered or appreciated the amount of work and planning that goes behind making those patterns and interactions happen in the first place. (Also achieving predictable levels of randomness and variation that allow you to produce multiple pieces in a harmonious series.)

Hereβs the finished planterβa custom engagement gift for plant lovers beginning their lives together. The dark pink background is Alabama clay, and now you can see how the green Ontario clay looks on the leaves after firing. The other colors come from glazes that I make in-studio. The orchid was a gift given to me over a year ago and I hope it flowers again! Iβm not great with orchids so keep your fingers crossed π€πΎ Now, she goes back in her hiding place, away from direct sun. #plants #pottery
