I treated the horn pieces in a combination of morgan white, honey, moss green, pink and purple earthenware glazes, with some oxides added for texture and speckling. I made quite simple choices that will add some visual interest and emphasize the texture of the pieces without distracting from their form.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I used a combination of dipping, pouring and painting techniques to allow the glaze to follow the contours of the clay.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Figuring out the logistics for glazing was tricky because they’re so large.  But I decided to wear them on my arm and work over a tray to catch any run off. Honestly, I was so surprised by how powerful it felt to wear them like that, they’re like a bee sting or some kind of delicate piercing thing. They have a kind of archetypal shape, they remind me of lots of different aspects of nature. But also jewelry. But also weaponry. I suppose that the latter two often involve bio-mimicry, so this is no surprise. No wonder they can conjure that kind of emotional experience in me.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I find mixing and working with the glazes so enjoyable. I feel like a witch, bent over a cauldron, whixh is on of itself enjoyable. But on a subtler level, the glaze is so tactile. It’s almost sensual, silken, sliding through your fingers as you mix it with your hands. Sexy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These are the test examples of the glazes I chose to replicate. <\/div>\n
