It's time to look around the pond for other friends who may be living there. Welcome to Frogs! I've been playing about with frog shapes for a while and have settled on a squat rotund friend with large wet eyes. Friend shaped!
I make these on the potters wheel like all my other creations, but to get them squat I then literally drop them with a charming splat, to spread out the base and make a bulbous shape, perfect for pond skimming.
My white stoneware ceramic clay is then underglazed with a few accents and then dipped in a lovely celadon/copper mix glaze and kiln fired to 1220'c to make it super shiny and green!
