Lace Tray made with handmade Italian
Wedding Lace
When I first started working with clay I had some "big" ideas about projects I wanted to try. This tray was one of them. It is a favorite piece for me to create and I am always surprised with the results. These trays are made by impressing wedding lace and then individually glazing each and every petal. They are wonderful as a wedding gift, anniversary present, retirement, or just to have and to enjoy.
These are wonderful for any season. I have created this in fall these, spring, summer, and even in winter shades using wonderful pastels.
It takes me about 2 hours to glaze a single tray. Some of my pottery friends think I am "nuts" to make these, but I just keep making them. I love how the lace appears after the final firing.
Yes, these are not your average pottery run. There are normally an average of 4 runs per tray to achieve the final result.
Greetings Lori! Great to hear from you and nice to see that you are still "firing away" :-) Great looking pieces you have here. Best of success to your daughter at school, especially in science - you should be a big help in that department!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael, hope all is well in the great North East. My daughter surpassed by scientific knowledge base a LONG time ago! It is so impressive what today's kids are doing. Be well, L
