Tuesday night I showed my class how to make larger bowls and platters.
I made three pieces for them… but I felt two of them needed a little somethin’-somethin’.
Tonight I pulled out some stamps and did a bit of decorating. So here goes…
Starting with the plain bowl that I threw Tuesday night. It was wrapped up under plastic and tonight it was on the “wetter-side” of leather heard. Perfect for stamping!
Once the bowl was all stamped, I moved on to stamp the platter too. So I found the stamp I wanted and began indenting one by one by one… all the way around!!!
Eventually both of these class demo pieces were stamped and done for the night. So I put them both back under plastic so they can dry a bit slower. I’m hoping that tomorrow I might be able to trim both of them.
Love the platter! Your work is so beautiful!
Your work inspires me to try my best to create as I am a beginner and a visual person. Do you teach classes on how to make these 2 items? Also what clay to use. I live in Australia.
LARISA – If you want o see how I stamp textures into my work, just go to YouTube.com and do a quick Search for “Fire When Ready Pottery.” There are a couple videos there that show the work from start to finish. Enjoy.
