Spring Ceramics, Vase Edition

I have been thinking about using manhole and utility covers in my ceramics for a very long time, and I finally got around to taking impressions to use as stamps.  Then I used paper clay (clay that has paper mixed in for stability) to make the forms.  So many stamps...so many possibilities!

Throw on some olive oil, press in some clay, pull off, wait a while,
bake at 1000 degrees or something, wah lah.



I used a lot of mason stains to rub into the designs so they'd really pop.

Hand for scale!






Don't forget!  I'M ALL OVER THAT INSTAGRAM THING.
