Back from bisque, I call them pita plates. These are slab plates with upturned edges, in the same shape as the Meditteranean flatbread. Tile 6 slip on FCSI, about 12″ long. Might pre-spray with soda to make sure they don’t come out dry.

Two tall vessels or vases. Made the bodies (FCSI) Saturday from thin thrown slabs, attached the bottoms today and did a first coat of slip. They were ridiculously big slabs, as large as one leaf of the Trib, and it would have made more sense to use the slab roller. But the clay was in good shape, and I wanted to see how far I could push it. One vessel stands at about 24″ and has the slashes that are typical of my tumblers, the other is a more modest 18″. Have to take the slip application slowly so the clay doesn’t get oversaturated and collapse. After several more coats of Tile 6, they’ll be ready for carving and bisque.

More of these fun guys are back. The small ones will be shooters, or sake; larger for whiskey (or whatever, but I have to call them something). Tile 6 on FCSI again - a favorite combination. I get a kick out of making these little drawings. Bisque gets pretty unexciting to look at; there’s nothing good for a backdrop and the lighting is fluorescent. I’ll get a few shots of the finished ones soon.
