The inside of the bowls is an excuse to draw sketches of flowers that glide like shadows into the concave surface. The bowls become containers of flowers …
Flowers in bowl…

These are lovely! Is it coloured slip or stains used to draw the flowers?
Hi Ruth, it’s coloured slip. I drew the flowers after the first fire, and then I glazed the bowls for the second fire. Thanks for your comment! 🙂
These are absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Kerrie-Anne, ceramic is my passion, but now I hardly have time to work on it, and I hope Thank you for your comment 🙂
When you drew you drew with a black colored slip and then did you have to fire it a second time with clear? I love them they are beautiful.

Hi Ginny
Yes, you’re right. I’ve drawn with a black engobe (colored slip) on the clay (leather hardness) and then fired the bowl, then I glazed it with clear glaze and fired it a second time.
Thanks for your kind comment Ginny 🙂
