ceramics - pre bisquit fire

it is amazing how different pieces look before and after a biscuit (or glaze) firing so i thought i would show you a couple of images pre-firing. the look is very matt but just you wait!
these beads are pre biscuit firing (a lower firing temperature). the porcelain has been stained and then shaped. they will probably drop back in colour intensity after the firing but i am hoping not too much
i will post the glazed (before high firing) images shortly. clay is such a fun and rewarding medium to work with and porcelain is really my favourite right now
by the way, my very talented friend (and mentor!), kirsty manger from yum design, is participating in an exhibition by the geelong potters at the karingallery, 4 james street, geelong at the moment. i might see you in there!
