OK everyone, here are my first completed masterpieces!
The blue and white ones were glazed with a fun technique called bubble glazing. You make a mixture of glaze, water and dish soap in a cup, insert a straw and blow bubbles until they are spilling over the cup. You drip the bubbles on your pot and then you get this fun kind of tie-dyed look. The square dish was another technique called kohiki, where a thick glaze is applied with a textural brush, and you make patterns of lines or swirls or circles. I overglazed this with a greenish/blue glaze.
It is a lot of fun, and we started another 8-week round of classes today.

Wow! I’m not sure which is my favorite. The blue and white glazed pieces are attractive.But the darker blue bowl is quietly handsome.

So beautiful! What a great job, rosa!

I am really getting quite a bit of joy from this class. I was SO excited to see how the glazed pieces would come out. It was the first thing I thought of when I opened my eyes this morning, much like a kid on xmas morning.

They are marvelous! I love the blues and the textures are so cool. Glazing is tricky or at least long ago when I made a vase...wasn't sure if the color would be what I wanted. That was in 1969...I still use it for daffodils...it's purpose.
