All these things have finished their trip to the kiln twice. The artifacts have been made without using wheels.
After the first firing, they are glaze painted and then they go for second, final round of firing.
The result are these beautiful artifacts that I now proudly say was made by me :-)
I made this as a present for my darling hubby who patiently babysits while I am off to the pottery classes :-)
Coasters - one using rangoli pattern to give an Indian look, the other using lace pattern.
This one's with an antique finish :-) Here the effect of water is done using broken glass pieces.
A little girl for my little girl :-)
..... ofcourse will let her play with it only after a couple of years (LOL) ;-)
My teacher Michaella, whose work I greatly admire, started pottery by passion which then turned into her profession. She has her store in Limassol, where she also takes regular lessons for all age groups (including children). Her website - http://michaellasceramics.eu/
