Origami bowls

These origami bowls are made using slump moulds. I've been trialling different ways of making them including combined slay slabs terracotta on the side and white on the other. These ones are my favourite but are splitting during firing the two clays are not compatible.

First I worked on the bowl shapes.

Test glazes on Keanes red terracotta

The red terracotta is really nice at cone 6 so I have kept that and started working with engobes. I am now trying to inlay a pattern then put the white engobe on top.
