What's That Red Greazy Stuff You're Playing With?
I've been going through a terracotta phase. Terracotta is a wonderful clay to work with but it takes forever to dry. It's greasy in quality but yet, strong and resilient. I've come closest to throwing dry as I think I'll ever get with any clay using the terracotta. I've started a terracotta album in facebook, please have a look-see. I've been getting to know the clay while doing pieces for various challenges. I've been experimenting with underglazes as well. I love the vibrant quality the terracotta lends to the underglazes. Well, after a trip to the dentist today, I'm heading back to the studio for more muddy fun.
