three beautiful mugs

  1. The inside is glazed with sand (Silicanordic 42008). The 2/3 of the outside of the mug is glazed with 2 layer Eukalyptus (Bots brushe glaze no.9865), and when it is dry the upper half of the mug was dipped in coppergreen (Cerama 1373).
  2. The inside is glazed with Creme (Silicanordic 42009), The lower half of the mug is glazed with 3 layer roserock (brush 9864 from Botz) and the upper half is glazed with 3 layer icecrystal (brush 9898 from Botz). When it has dryed, I brush a thin layer of effec generator ( Silicanordic) on the upper half.
  3. The inside is glazed with Creme ( silicanordic 42009). The outside is glazed with 3 layer dark blue with effect (Botz bruch glaze 9881) an a thin layer of effect generator (Silicanordic). It nearly run, I think I only should have glazed it with 2 layer dark blue and then the effect generator.

The dinner is served

And now, the dinner plates came out of the kiln. They is made by the same technique as the deep plates.

Coppergreen from Cerama.

Pebbermint from Silicanordic with some koppergreen spots and at last at thin layer of effect generator.

Seablue from Silicanordic.

Off white from Cerama with seablue ( Silicanordic) spots and effect generator.

Blue grey with spots from Silicanordic.

Making deep plates

I cut a bigger hole in an old lp and layed it on top of my bat system. I placed my forms on the lp.

I rolled out the clay to about 5 mm thickness, smoothed it and moved it onto the mold.

The plates had to have a rim. For my plates it should be 2 cm.

I made the bottom part of the plate, I used my homemade extruder ,-)

I released the plate from the bat system and the lp byt presseing the hand behind the batsystem. I let the plate dry a bit and then I removed the molds an put the plate on an foam. The rim is presed a bit down to get the right angel.

An eye?

This bowl is, at the inside, glazed with off white from cerama 1364, and then added a little bit of sea blue 42321 from Silicanordic ( most sea blue on the upper part and som drops), at finally I added som effect generator from Silicanordic. I painted the generator from the rim and towards the center.

Finally I doused the outside with the seablue glaze. It is fired at 1250.

Denne skål er, på indersiden glaseret med off white fra Cerama 1364, derefter har jeg tilføjet noget havblå 42321 fra Silicanordic, mest havblå op mod kanten men også nogle tilfældige dråber på det øvrige. Til sidst har jeg tilføjet effektgenerator fra Silicanordic, malet med en viftepensel fra den øverste kant og inde mod midten. Ydersiden er overhældt med havblå, og skålen er brændt ved 1250.

The black clay

I throw som white mugs, and when the mugs were leather hard, i put a handle on the mugs and then I added some shapes made in thin black clay. The black clay can be seen through the colored glaze even though the glaze alså covers the shapes.

Jeg drejede nogle krus i hvidt ler og da jeg satte hanke på, tilføjede jeg også nogle faconer lavet i tyndt sort ler. De blev sat på med slikker. Det sorte ler ses gennem den farvede glasur også selv om glasuren er lagt hen over det hele.

Thick or thin

These mugs are all glazed with the same glaze, Nephrite green (42312 from Silicanordic.dk). The left mug is glazed thick, and tre tree right mugs are glazed thin. It is at very different look. The glaze is very easy to work with.

Disse krus er alle glaseret med Nefritgrøn 42312 fra Silicanordic. Kruset til venstre er glaseret tykt mens de tre krus til højre kun har fået et tyndt lag glasur. Det giver et meget forskelligt udseende. Glasuren er meget let at arbejde med.

A cute kitten

These are food bowl for at very cute little kitten. They are glazed with copper green (1373 Cerama) on the outside and crystal white (1310 Cerama). Note, that the green glaze has not run. I hav adjusted the thickness to 45 B, and it seams to work well.

Dette er madskåle til den sødeste lille killing. De er glaseret med kobbergrøn på ydersiden og krystalhvid på indersiden. Bemærk at den kobbergrønne ikke er løbet. Jeg har justeret flydetallen til i underkanten af 45 B og det ser ud til at virke.

Plate

Working with plates. I am trying to find a good shape, a good size and how thick the clay need to be. These plates are waiting for the kiln. I look forward to viewing them after firing.

Arbejder med tallerkner. Her en række forsøg og prototyper. Jeg forsøger at finde en god form, en god størrelse og at finde ud af, hvor tykt leret behøver at være. Disse tallerkner står og venter på ovnen. Jeg er spændt på at betragte dem efter forglødningen.
