And there was colour










I received a lesson in spraying on glazes as his was the most suitable method for my spheres considering their awkward shapes. The glazes were shades of blue and green low-temperature earthenware glazes. (1060 and 1080) Although I used stoneware clay since my spheres are purely decorative the fact that they still remain slightly porus doesn't matter. Though my application technique is still to be perfected, I was really happy with the colours and although my tests achieved very glossy and glassy results, the slightly matt effect on my spheres has a lovely quality in itself.
