![]() I love the way pieces look unglazed. I made the wall hanging face planter for myself. I ultimately decided to "glaze" this piece with just oxides. Rutile and a bit of Red Iron Oxide and some chrome. It really retains the personality of the piece without glossing over any detail. Oxides are great on sculptural and non functional works. I currently have a piece in the Richmond Art Center's annual memebers exhibit with oxide decoration called "Incognito". It's the cigar smoking bird on the high fire ceramics page. If you get a chance, go check it out along with lots of other great stuff. The show runs June 16-August 17th. The artist's reception is June 30th from 2-4 pm

I love your work, Rosemary! My daughter Tami works with ceramics too and loved looking at your pieces! I have missed you all.
