In this video we unload another glaze kiln containing some of my own work and also my newly welcomed back students work. They are such a talented bunch. I have also reglazed a fountain top by applying hairspray before adding more glaze and reglaze fired applying Amaco Sky/Seaweed and Textured Turquoise to great effect over the previously underglazed and rather uninspiring first glaze fire. The top is part of a two part fountain I have been working on inspired by seeing the turtles in Barbados in January 2020 - just before Covid kicked off!
A new student, Fern, has made some really lovely test tiles in readiness for her project to make a dinner service. Really interesting textures and oxide/glaze combinations. Karen has used a large leaf to make a great water bath for the birds. Fabulous use of oxide on craft crank which can be left outside all year round. Great to see my students back to creating some fantastic pieces
I had a go at replicating a mug I purchased from Hamilton’s Pottery on Barbados by using Cobalt and Copper Oxide. I suspect this will have more glaze added and will go through the kiln for another glaze firing. All in all a good prototype to learn from.
My work is available to purchase via my Etsy shop (link below) if you’d be kind enough to take a look.
Hi I’m Sarah Amos. I gave up my day job and am now living the dream as a full-time potter and teacher, running courses from my studio, The Pottery Corner, in a little village just outside Chichester on the South Coast of England. With Cissy and Charlie, my studio companions, we welcome students of all abilities from complete beginners to the more experienced, teaching throwing on the potters wheel as well as handbuilding techniques.
I love to share my clay experience and knowledge by passing on pottery techniques in my Top Tip Tuesday videos; which include full tutorials on items to try out yourselves. I also sell my work via my Website and Etsy Shop. So grab a cuppa, sit back, relax and let’s dive into what’s going on in The Pottery Corner today.
