Bone Series

I have been working on this series since May. I created it for the Art Star Craft Bazaar as a line of jewelry that would complement my bowl forms. The pendants are all made individually from porcelain. Their surface is unglazed bare clay, which for me has a sensual tactility.

batch # 2

These are my second batch of porcelain vessels. They are thrown on the wheel, then crudely shaped by hand while still wet, and lastly carved at a stage when the clay is between leather hard and bone dry (yani bayagi sert haldeyken). I have been working with the clear, tenmoku, black and spodumene school glazes. Each firing produces different results, which is exciting and frustrating at the same time. I plan to experiement with color later on. However, right now I enjoy the simplicity of the monotone glazes. Let me know what you think. Optum!
