Beach Landscape
Ceramic Piece 17cm x 20cm. Frame dimensions 26cm x 29cm x 3.5cm
The texture along the bottom edge in this piece was achieved by impressing some course grog into the soft clay, various yellow slips and engobes were applied over this. I like the way the yellow colour fades into the white without a sudden change in colour. The circle on the left that juts out slightly to create a small step in the edge has a glossy turquoise glaze over it and suggests some of the other colours that are evident in this sort of landscape.
Slab built wall piece in a white wooden frame. There is a small gap between the ceramic piece and the backboard of the frame, this elevates the ceramic pieces and gives it the appearance of floating in the wooden frame. Fired to 1140C
