From #claypit to #pottery. I use commercial #clay to make my forms and I use #wildclay to decorate the surfaces. Check the photo #alttext for details.
Clay mine in Ocala, Florida. A steep, exposed cliff face with stratified layers of reddish and tan clay soil, indicating excavation. At the base, there is stagnant water with a yellowish tint, surrounded by mounds of loose earth. Sparse vegetation, including trees, is visible at the top of the cliff against a clear blue sky.
A close-up image of my hand holding a clump of reddish-brown clay or soil, showcasing its moist and compact texture. The background is blurred with similar earth tones of clay.
A lump of moist, tan clay (the same clay from the mine) next to an oval test tile showing what that same clay looks like when turned to terra sigillata, brushed on top of commercial clay and fired to cone 5 (over 2100°F). The tile is a rich, brownish-orange color and has a cracked surface texture, kind of like aged leather.
A closeup of the upper half of a vase I made. The neck flares out at an angle and is painted with the brownish-red crackle clay. The vase is decorated with geometric patterns, diamonds, lines and dots. The other colors are shiny brown, light yellow and light blue-green. The photo is a studio lit with a plain, black background.
