1st work

As I was thinking about aging, I started thinking about the outward appearance.  The wrinkles, the sagging skin, graying hair.  I made this bust, which had a little breakage during firing.  This is Low-Fire Terra Cotta clay with grog, fired in an electric kiln.  Engobes and underglazes were applied before bisque firing.  Two different washes were applied, and underglaze added again before the second firing.  I replaced her check after the second firing.
