So, while my little one is at Preschool I head off to the art center in town and work on my ceramics... Here are a couple of pieces I've been working on, they are Araby... but I hope to do something along these lines with a more open sport horse theme soon! Hope you like them :)

This one is intended to be part of a fountain... the wave abstractions will hopefully capture the water in an interesting way..

Not sure what I'm going to do with this one... could be part of a fountain or it could end up as a wall hanging (maybe dangle a "welcome" sign from it)... I call it The Three Graces...

Thank you Barn Girl... I'm planning on buying my own glazes, the ones at the art center have been contaminated by folks dipping their brushes in them... I've been so disappointed with how my glazing has fired due to this... So I'm going to buy my own and keep them apart from the studio's glazes. :) I'll be sure to post photos when they are done :)

Ooooh, 3 Graces is lovely...maybe Won for Me would like it in her new house!!!

So here's a dumb question, as I know nothing about ceramics. Do you paint it afterwards? I'm specifically thinking about the eyes....

I have to bisque fire it first then I will apply underglaze to the eyes, and probably a clear glaze to the rest and high fire it... that should do the trick... I am going to experiment with watercolor glazes with test tiles first before I dare try it on a piece like this ;)

Thank you guys :) I think I know what I'm going to do with The Three graces... I'm going to tear it off the current slab and put it on a new one... something more substantial. But before I put it on the new one I'm going to decorate the new one with an Islamic design template... it should really turn out quite beautiful :)
