To create my set of different colored bowls, I used the two different colors of clay. For one of the bowl I used to wheel and then painted a pattern on it with brown slip. For the other bowl I took the light clay and rolled a slab, then I created rolls of the darker clay and put them into the slab. After that, I used a mold to form the shape. When the bowls were fired, I glazed them with a clear coat to allow the natural color to show. The hardest part was figuring out how I wanted to incorporate the two colors of clay. |
