Here are some of the design from my notebook that were later made into the ceramic pieces from the earlier post: White ceramic pieces

Ceramic studies

These are some very early thrown stoneware pieces that were made when learning how to close a cylinder on the potters wheel. I finished them with some simple brush marks and a clear glaze.

White Ceramic Pieces

The first two pieces from a series of white stoneware ceramic pots with 18 carat gold detailing that were based on minimalist human forms.

Ceramics

More old work that I found from my college days. Ceramics, something which I'd always love to go back too.
These ones are made with craft crank clay mixed with various grades of wood shavings, made 11% larger to allow for the shrinkage rate of that kind of clay. They were then smoked fired and bolted together with metal parts of found origins or rusted with ammonia. The next and final stage was to dairy products and keep in a warm damp place to help grow fungus and blue mould (extremely unhygienic to touch).  All vessels are made to the volume of the human brain. The theme was the death cycle, when something dies to allow for something else to live, or something pretentious like that. It was along time ago :)
