Refrigerator Magnets
 |
||||
These pieces range in size from one to one and a half inches in diameter. The images are first carved or molded into raw clay stamps in reverse. The stamps are then bisque fired to harden them and make them porous. This creates a unique stamp that is used to press out moist clay to create positive images. Many of these images are used in my more elaborate vessels. Here they stand alone.  After drying for several hours, the positive images are trimmed of excess clay and allowed to dry completely. They are then bisque fired and subsequently finished with a variety of glazes or other surface treatments. Finally the pieces are fired along with my other pots to temperatures above 2350 degrees Farenheit. A small, strong magnet is then glued to the back to create a small clay gem to decorate refrigerator, washer, dryer or any other metal surface. The strong magnet will easily hold lists, photos, or artwork in place as well. |
