Karika/Kupa

I took advantage of the equipment  and materials  available to me in Hungary that I do not have in my own studio.  I spent the first third of my residency making models and plaster molds. I worked with nine different  molds of forms  and a number of small molds for the necks and tops of the pieces. During the second third of the month, I slip cast  with the luxurious porcelain from the Herend factory. The Herend porcelain slip is liquid clay, tinted pink to standout from the white plaster mold.   During the final third of the residency I glaze fired the work in either gas or electric kilns at about 2300 F degrees, then followed with  china painting and luster.
