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.

Filling the kiln can sometimes take a while, its always a good feeling when its cooled down enough to peep inside to take a quick look, its an even better feeling when you empty the kiln and find that all your hard work has paid off, and you don't have any warpage, cracks and crawls on your work.

Filling the kiln over recent times has mainly consisted of commissions and replenishing stock for my shops, all great if the work has fired well. Yet not so exciting as I already know what I'm going to find in there. This is why I always try a little experiment or test a new glaze or make a piece to use in my home somehow.
 This way I get a little surprise everytime the kiln is fired.
