Finally spending some time in the studio again.
It appears I have the kiln in working order after putting the old switches back on. It’s loaded and ready to fire this weekend. Here’s hoping everything goes well. It will be the first firing in this studio space with a rewired kiln. Below I’m putting some underglazes on pomegranates.
The fruit is a little outside of my normal inspiration, although I have long been fascinated by their dry and mottled surface. My interest in them also probably stems from the Biblical design of the tabernacle, where the Israelites were told to craft pomegranates of unnatural colors (blue, purple and scarlet) for the hem of the priest’s garment (Exod 28:31-35).
