At last...

I finally glazed my pots!

Here are two of them. First, my set of lotus bowls:




These are glazed in Jade Green, after much contemplating. (I was deciding between just using a clear glaze or Jade.) I am pretty satisfied with how the colour turned out. Quite relieved that all the bowls fit nicely into one another as well. However, these are still too heavy. I wouldn't want to be washing them -- my arms will ache!

I really hope I have a chance to make this again, coz I wanna try another way of making them to see if I can get lighter bowls, and still be able to cut out the lotus pattern.

Here's number two:

Front




Back



Glazed in Deep Sea Green and Crayon Blue. This is one of my very few handmade bowls, since I am more comfortable throwing on the wheel. Despite its size, this bowl is light. I realize one of the advantages of handbuilding is that it is easier to make really thin-walled pots. I am happy to have finally made something big and light! :)
