Ceramics Painting

[katili]

I went ceramics painting today and made an ombré mug! I’m excited to see what it looks like after the kiln.

Do any of you ever paint ceramics? I’d love to see some of your work if you do!

Wow, that's beautiful! Very well done.

My mom and I paint ceramics. We use molds to cast slip in, take them out after a while and fire them. Then we paint them. It's pretty cool, and very labor intensive. Some of the molds are impossibly heavy.

Use to do this many moons ago, I made way too much stuff, then went on and studied pottery for 6 yrs at tertiary education, will try and take some photos.

Oh wow, you two did way more that sounds so fun! I’d love to do a pottery class some day and make my own thing, and use different glazes.

The place we go has premade blanks and what looks like chalky paint to put on them, then they fire it and I pick it up like a week later.

I just found a picture of a vase right after I painted it, I seem to never photograph them after they’re fired

Here's a turkey I did for our local fair competition.

And a dragon; it's quite dusty

I love those ceramics places - we had one and I went with several groups until it closed during the pandemic. Soooo much fun! DH likes to tease me about the last item I made. It’s a cute little serving tray that I did in very plain grays and gray speckle, with a design on the bottom.
1. I am not an artist; 2. I really don’t care for agapanthus 3. Mav is a nickname he calls me.
But here it is….

I took a pottery class this fall with some coworkers and absolutely loved it. We spent more time wheel throwing than finishing, but we did get to try glazing in our last session. Here's a picture of some of our finished pieces (not all are mine).

Everyone’s projects are so pretty!

The before and after of those chalky clay paints will never stop amazing me. Here's my fired mug

That is absolutely beautiful

And now I want to find one of those ceramic places, which I never did understand the attraction of. I do now

Thank you I've been enjoying tea out of it most days since making it! You should see if you have one, they're a nice, low key kind of fun.
