i love making art based ceramics that explore concepts and themes. I also love making utilitarian/domestic items. I find satisfaction in making useful items that are somewhat anonymous.
Currently I am making house numbers I Share with the Ladies Auxillary at the Mater Hospital in Newcastle in memory of a close friend to sell on their stalls. As you know I love molds so I make my tiles in a mold. I bisque fire to 1060 then i glaze with my mistake glaze to 1080 with a long soak. i have had the numbers made as decals. I fire them to 780. I am happy with the result. The numbers are crisp. They look like bought ones i got a mold of numbered tiles in the mail. It was broken. I tried to mend it. Mending always leaves join marks., i tried using the mold today. I found the tiles hard to work with I was unable to get sharp edges or a professional finish. i am not going on with them as the decals look really good and are easy to work with.
