Project No.4: "Finished Porcelain Souvenirs"


Throughout the project I made several different shaped envelopes of different sizes. I had a lot of fun working with porcelain. I gained much experience through this project. I learned that there is no reason to fear porcelain like i did before. I like it now but I must say it is a very stubborn material but through faults and failures and constant desire to learn and achieve what was aimed, the end result pays off. I am very happy with the way the works( souvenirs) turned out.

Other envelopes with various designs that were just painted with porcelain slip and not glazed.




 Nothing cracked or changed shape much and the 1220 degree firing, just as i expected worked perfectly and works did not need to be glazed. They looked good the way they were.
