glass melted into pottery dishes

The glass used is regular clear glass melted into cobalt glazes, I have melted the glass over a clay ammonite which was previously cast into plaster to make the mold.

The porcelain key in the second image was also cast and infused within the glaze and the glass.

 I really like using different clays together with different glass to create these effects, and as you would expect no two are alike. 

Here you can see the porcelain key immersed within the glass and glaze.

This mottled effect was made using dried glaze powder flecked onto the moss green glaze and glass added onto the circular porcelain disc

For more bowls made this way please check into my folksy shop where they are being sold individually.

Kiln Fresh glass and porcelain discs

Year 8 Art workshop pinch pots

These are the results of the last glaze firing.
 I emptied the school kiln this morning and I was delighted with the results of this Year 8 pinch pot workshop. 
I showed a small group of year 8 students how to make small pinch pot forms from clay. The rest they did themselves, I love their quirky little designs, owls, cats and pot feet featured heavily.
They later glazed them and added a few glass beads to the bases to melt with the glaze.
I gave them their work today and they were thrilled with the results.
