These are all of my finished pieces in the ceramics workshop. As mentioned I was waiting to upload these after everything had been glazed and finished. From over the four weeks in ceramics we made Tiles, Buttons and bugs ( and with some left over clay in the first week from the extruder, I made a pot, As shown in the top left). I like the effect the glaze has given to my pieces, as it really makes the colours stand out. After being firstly heated in the bisque, The pieces were then painted, glazed and fired again.
The Butterfly tile, pot and lion button were all heated in the gas kiln, as they were painted using different inks (Oxides), each one made of different chemicals, so the heat from the gas caused them to react and change colour. However, everything else had been glazed and painted with regular ceramic paint, which is like acrylic.
