Clay Bowls

I fired a few days ago, trying my hand at Majolica.  Less than stellar! 

I was disappointed in the white. I wanted a thicker white. 

A whiter white.

I'm loving this, though, because I can't get too cocky.

If I do, the next firing

will surely have a bomb or two in it,

reminding me I have only just begun the journey.

The bowl below, though, makes up for it all! 

Loved everything about it, including the back.

I coated, then wiped off the black glaze, added a pattern with resist,

and then glazed with turquoise.  

Ahhhhhh.  Happy.

Gelatin Printing at Art Walk

Tonight at Art Walk at Art Mundo, I demonstrated gelatin plate printing.

In this process, a printing plate made of gelatin is used to print monoprints. 

The process lends itself to experimentation, playfulness and quick results.

I'll post some of my results next.

A website that has an abundance of information on the process

is Printmaking Without A Press, Linda Germain.  

Below are 2 photos of me in my print studio,

Fish Head Press, perhaps one of the tiniest print studios in existence.

Lovin' it.

outside the door to facilitate the crowd.
