Dave's Ceramics Projects

Sometime in early 1995 I started working with ceramics at a long-since defunct place in Dolton.
It was near early spring and everyone there was making Easter stuff.  I went for Halloween.

This little pumpkin was done using the undercoat technique.  It got painted with a coat of flat black
and then the orange was dry-brushed on.  Dry-brushing is where you put as little paint as possible
on the brush and sort of scrub it across the details to highlight them.



This is your typical Jack O'Lantern sort of pumpkin.



This design came from a pumpkin carving kit. It's one of my favorites!



I did a few cookie jars - this is the only one I still have.



This is a very recent project. There's a ceramics shop in the Peru Mall, in Peru, IL
where you can sit and do your own thing for a set price.  There's a shop like that in Homewood, IL
called Art-4-Soul where I've done a couple of pieces that are being fired this week (11/19/07).
