Turning Season

I rolled out a piece of slab without any defined shape using oxidising St Thomas clay. I used this type of clay because it has enough grog in it to keep the slab nice and flat.

After bisque firing to 1000c I painted a turning season scene to emphasize the Spring Equinox. I used Spectrum velvets for the under glaze and spectrum high fire 10 for the clear glaze. It was fired to 1220c and soaked for 15 mins. I had the vent plugs out for 2hrs at the start of the firing.

The 2nd turning season slab is still being fired. Hopefully I will post a pic tomorow.
