don’t push my buttons – came through the bisque but I was really unhappy with the result – I added more stain, more engobe and some very watery underglaze colours – put it back in the kiln and crossed my fingers. (maybe I prayed to the kiln god as well!) terracotta and white clays, stains , engobe and underglaze approx. 40 cm x 30 cm x 25 cm.

I have just starting to play around with mono prints – this was done by painting acrylic onto glass and taking a print by placing the paper on top and pressing with my hand. I have then worked back into the print with charcoal.

I haven’t uploaded anything for a few days. The weather has been wild and chaotic but I have been in the studio despite the heat and humidity.
