Glazing Animal Sculptures -Brian Hollingworthj

Two peices of sculpture ready for glazing and finishing. They have dried and then been fired in my electric kiln. I fire this to 1030C - quite HOT ! The clay changes in the firing into a hard material that is still absorbant. Glazes and stains are applied; all by hand with great care. Everything in ceramics takes time !

I have posted more pictures of the process on Facebook

I have joined Facebook and am finding it fun ! The pictures above are on my Facebook page. I am putting pictures on as I work ! It is helpful as clients can use the page to see ther work as it progresses - then send a link to friends to see. It all adds to the fun !

The pictures are of an anteater sculpture I have just made because I wanted too! I have always like the strange shape of anteaters. They are wonderful creatures full of character. An incredible shape !

 

The new site is proving a success too. My wife has been updating both of my web sites and they have a lot of new work featured on them.
