I used engobe, iron oxide, cobalt, copper black, copper oxide, manganese and yellow oxide.I was playing around with the colours and colour mixing. On the insides I used Abbott's clear and Majorlica white glazes. This was my first time with oxides and glazes so I felt not knowing how they would turn out so lacked vision on the desired outcome but it is a beginning and now I have these processes to reflect on. It felt like the colour of the clay played a big part on the colour outcomes of the oxides and want to explore further how the oxides responded to the clear glaze.]]> 2022-04-11 23:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139950205 megganpokiha https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139954621 I discover Phil Rogers through the Goldmark Gallery and his apprentice Anne Mette Hjortshøj. I love his forms and the glazes he works with, his Korean influence and his desire to use local clays and ingredients.]]> 2022-04-11 23:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139954621 megganpokiha https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139962300 What caught my attention with Jeff's work is it felt very purposeful, I love his lines and angles, his shapes and edges. I also enjoy the glazes he uses which are both German and Japanese influenced. His work is primarily functional and he apprenticed under Bernard Leach and Warren Mackenzie.]]> 2022-04-11 23:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139962300 megganpokiha https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139966422 Lisa Hammond is from the UK and I enjoy her directional approach and her apparent confidence in her processes. She is experiential with her glazes and design and is a wood firer. ]]> 2022-04-11 23:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139966422 megganpokiha https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139985960 Warren Mackenzie is an American potter and teacher who studied under Bernard Leach. Most of his work is wheel thrown and functional and was influenced by the Japanese Mingei style. I love his simple forms and glazes, there is a harmony in his work with both the forms and glazes, there is a groundedness in it's beauty and functionality for me.]]> 2022-04-12 00:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2139985960 megganpokiha https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2140001607 These are Jomon style coil pots I made, two were copies and the third on the bottom right was inspired as i wanted to try something else. These are not bisque fired yet.]]> 2022-04-12 00:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2140001607 megganpokiha https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2140006870 I enjoyed this process until the last one where I struggled to get it to the shape in the exercise. This was my first time working with terracotta which I enjoyed and think with it's smoothness and plasticity compared to stoneware clay was a good one to use for this exercise.]]> 2022-04-12 00:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/megganpokiha/l4vkzsfkc3xw63nl/wish/2140006870
