Oval Dish with Melted Glass Beads, No. 176 Sculpture

A unique oval dish made from a thick slab of clay which was wedged and then the clay beads were worked in before the shape was created using a plaster former. This was an experimental piece of work and is very unusual (there do not appear to be other ceramcists currently trying to meld clay and glass in this particular way). Most ceramicists are simply adding and melting glass to the base of a surface, rather than pressing or wedging the beads in the way that I am doing. A light pink underglaze wash was applied which a created a slight hue, beautiful effect. The dish has been further enhanced by a burgundy glaze being applied to its base and the four feet. The surface also had a clear glaze applied before the second firing. From the wedging of the clays including the addition of the beads; to the creation of the shape; the first firing, underglazing; glazing; and second firing a piece like this will take at least 12 hours of work.
