Day 28

Vase or lidded jar ?

This vase/lidded jar is from majolica clay.

 Lid is from the brown clay.

I punched several holes in the middle of the lid so

it can serve also as a vase.I placed some dried flowers in the middle

so you can see how it looks like.

Day 26

Hanging candle holder

*Click for larger image

This turned out a little funny. 

It has a big hole for the candle from the backside 

and on the top you can see a hole for attaching a twine or something else

so it can hang.

Day 25

Day 23

Lidded jar, vase or something else?

 Basic shape of the pot is from majolica clay and the

 lid for the pot is from the brown clay.

I think it will be nice after the firing when the contrast 

between the colors will come to expression.

I like very much the idea of a multifunctional objects. 

Especially when the design of  the objects is done well and smart, 

in other words it has to be somehow useful. 

I intended this to be a pot with the lid like yesterday, but here is the catch.

I punched the holes in the lid so it can be a vase as well.

On the last photo you can see dried pot and

the contrast between majolica and brown clay.

Day 20

Hanging birdhouse

I was so enthusiastic about making a birdhouse!

I wanted to make it for a long time but each time when I was going to do it

 the flow took me in some other direction.

I must say that I didn't do any measurements or planning and I didn't  

took into consideration some things like drainage and ventilation.

This is my first so I forgive myself for

 being careless about those things and I let it be the way it is.

Next time I will make a little research about all the things that I need 
to think about when doing a birdhouse.

Day 19

Cream jug

This is a small pinched jug.

I mixed some pink with white clay.

 Wonder what shade of the color will turn out after the firing.

I am hoping for some fine pastel tone.

I was focusing on the shape so I wanted to keep it simple 

 with the texture

 and I think that I mainly succeeded.

Day 15

Carved pot

I mixed together brown and pink clay and started with some simple shape.

I liked it that way so I left it to dry.

When it almost completely dried

 I decided to do some carving. 

Lucky me.

It turned out just fine but I could save some time and effort 

by doing it in a leather hard stage.

It would be soooo much easier.

Day 9

Crack pot

This time I mixed two different types of clay, majolica and brown.

This particular brown clay has 25 % of chamotte and the grain size is 0-0,2 mm.

Again, I overlaid the inside of the pot.
 This time with white clay.

I persisted in creating cracks while at the same time

 I had difficulty with forming the shape and I am not satisfied with this one.

It cracked a litte bit too much.

At one moment it almost fell apart complerely but I saved it!

This happens when you have problems with control

 and when you are not able to stop at the right moment.

UPDATE: Fired pot

The edge of the pot was to thick so it cracked at some points during 

drying. I then tore it completely so it can be equal.
