New beginnings...
Posted by Jess on 30th Jan 2015
I've moved into a new home with workspace attached and it's now been sorted and tidied ready for a new workbench to be installed, all to create a better space for me to have fun in and make more pieces in.
In the meantime I've been having fun with my new Niece Fearne doing imprints of her tiny hands and feet in porcelain ready to rub oxide over th prints to bring out the detail when fired. It'll be a first for me, but could be something to explore?
I'll soon be back up to date with posting new work and new items I unload out of the kiln so keep those eyes peeled.

Pretty In Porcelain
I've been busy experimenting with different oxides again, cobalt, copper, rutile and manganese. When on porcelain the colours are that bit brighter, beautiful.
New experiments...
I've been mixing up some new concoctions... Tin oxide, Manganese Dioxide, Ilmenite and the usual Copper and Cobalt are the flavours of choice- I'll show some results soon an facebook- and some, if good enough will make their way onto here for purchase. Fingers crossed with a bit of my knowledge, effort, experimentation and luck there [...]
