Oiled



 I've just completed a new piece of ceramic to be entered in an art exhibition. The theme is WATER and the environmental impact that we have on polluting our oceans, the theme raises political and ecological concerns. My design depicts an oil platform with spill contaminating the seas. 

Earthenware pinch pot fired to 1000c, glazed using mayco with no transparent dip. Fired to 1004c and soak for 15 mins. The waves were created by 3 coats of cotton tail and 2 mins later 2 coats of blue. Using a cocktail stick scraffito design for the curly waves.
