Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Fired

The pottery that we painted a few days ago has been fired, and one of the doctors picked it up today. It was really cool to see the final results. I didn’t get to see all of it, because some pieces got taken before I saw them, but what I did see was beautiful. I especially went looking for the pitcher that my table mate made. It’s so interesting to see the differences in color between fired and unfired.

Here is a side-by-side comparison:

And here is my flowerpot. I like how it turned out. I want to try other techniques now. What would it look like to layer colors? What if I painted layers on, then wiped through the layers with a wet sponge?

The begonia would look good in this pot.

    That pot is going to look really cool with a plant in it – if I knew what a begonia looked like. (Googles it) Yes! That is the kind/style I was imagining!! Very cool to use the underside of the pot lip as a place for color. I’m a fan of black as the background, too.

    I like how your pot turned out too! The colors look very good together.

    But we are so opposite on this. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the artistic skills or artistic visions you have. I have a hard time picking out colors that look good together when fired. I usually think my pieces look better before the firing.
