Anna Dee Studio

@atelierable.bsky.social hey there, I was looking at 15th/16th century playing cards and ran across this image I thought you'd appreciate, from about 1450. The cards are suited by kingdom, so she is the 2 of Bohemia

Fab, thanks for aharing . if you ever visit London the Victoria and Albert Museum has an inspirational
Pottery collection sorted by decade, often missed on the 5th floor

Yes, the building dates back to the 15th century

Oh he is making his own paperclay , I guess one can play with different consistency then , thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

Studio Log : Bisque Kiln firing up tonight
- lots of tiny test pieces and some base slabs gping in the bisque kiln tonight , looking forward to fin out how the porcelain paperclay behaves

Yes agreed !! I couldnt believe how easy it re-wetted the day after and adhered again, these were just quick test cuts , will post the more intricate tiny ones that held up well, cant wait to see how it fires .

Studio Log : Porcelain Paperclay
- after a first day of not getting on at all with this type of clay , day 2 and it is dried out a bit , the slab compacted a bit and the test claycutters worked
- bisque kiln shelf one done — onwards

Studio Log:
- 2 recommendations for trying this Flax Paper clay with a porcelain body to see if it holds up to my tiny detail work
-it is very moist upon opening a pliable & soft
- coffee first, leave it to dry a little then play

Lots of gorgeous pottery stain’s and ceramic oxides to choose from , so great to see colour references on how they burn and being able to try out small
Quantities

Underglaze testing on bisque , tiny brushed touch ups on the thin spots #ceramics #pottery #wtqclay #artyear #pottersonbluesky #clay

Beautiful 🔥

Thanks , yes my work is about 2-3 cm small, so any grog will show up too prominent, the porcelain might work, thanks for taking pics 🙌🏻

Research Log : Ceramics
- underglaze tests are out of the bisque kiln , pleased to see the white underglaze working well over the colours , they mix well and 2 layers quite sufficient and not too streaky
- black a bit grey, red tad pink

Ah yes , i need very smooth and fine as I am screenprinting on top , would appreciate a surface pic , thank you

Appreciate the feedback , was looking at scarva , good to hear 🙌🏻

Ohhh - thanks for the tip! Appreciated , will look out for some paperclay and agreed might be worth trying porcelain 🙌🏻

Research Log : Ceramic
- time to put the underglaze tests into the kiln
- need to find a strong white extrasmooth firing clay that can handle mini sculptural details , - any recommendations for #smallceramics clay welcome

Research Log
- carving on greenware clay for some subtle texture effects to explore how tactile and relaxing to touch it is after glaze
- thinking about the sensation of touch, humans affinity to mold,form, interact with clay bodies in all forms #pottery #ceramics #clay #bottersofbluesky #art

Thanks and hi 👋🏻, been playing for several think papers and tissues to see if they will hold underglaze and then transfer . Some are very thin but screenprint beautifully after a resist — all experimentation at this point and nothing been fired yet but cant wait to figure this out 🪴

Research Log :
- a day of exploring the possibilities for screenprinting on earthenware clay
- testing different types of papers and stages of clay drying luckily the sun came out

Research Log - Clay Ceramic
- lime to start testing some underglaze colour variations , layering in 3 steps to see what strength i like and mixing combos for tonal hues
- i remember red being notoriously difficult to get right
