Boats,windmills,water and beaches at a small scale.The pendants are inspired by old Dutch classic paintings.I paint them,in relief,with colored fat casting slip.Fun to do,and some good practice for the eastern eggs painting later this year.
I have a small dark photostudio in my bathroom,for silkscreen printing.Further a photo emulsion,a lamp,and screens.It is a relative easy and not very expensive way, to make prints on tiles with underglaze.After the printing I added some reliefwork.
Last weeks I was orienting myself on doing astrologic signs.I have in progress some study tiles and pendants.It seems a lot of work to design and to work out the 12 signs.Colours and symbols have to be right for every sign.
Some first test results;the small tile is in the greenware stage,the pendants are painted with a reliefpaste and are waiting for another firing. Rob
I ám a kind of creative inventor that is the reason why I love pottery,the raw materials and glazes are a rich source for experimentation.I also have a website and like it, when you take a look at http://www.reliefs.nl
