First time throwing in 5 months. First time ever throwing porcelain.

I’m pleased with my 3 hour session. They aren’t perfect but they are something.

From a 60 year old case mould to the first porcelain cast this century. I adore this, the artistry and the fact it’s missing its foot piece, meaning the cast has taken on elements of the mould itself. It is both finished product and process in a single piece.

Ghostly handprints - the model. Mould has been made, see how it casts next week…

Making the mould was the grossest thing I’ve ever done. But the dead pigeon wings have come out quite well 🤔

Splat…

Pre-fired porcelain with different solidified glazes.

Lean with me… Over-firing can be a tricky line to walk, but there is beauty to be found in the drunk and wobbly.

Super stoked I managed to achieve this old weathered mould look with porcelain. Pre fire so hopefully the kiln gods are feeling kind.

The plaster mould I turned from a jigger-jolly blade I found in the abandoned TGGreens factory. Originally a mould making blade, I flipped it round and turned a plaster model on which this porcelain piece is built.

Who says porcelain has to be delicate?
