Ceramic Violin Wall Plaque

There is something charming about ceramics that is hard to put your finger on. Is it because we know they are made from clay, or is it the colours? I am not sure. This 'ceramic violin' piece was made in 2010

Violin in blue and brown

This violin had a very thick coat of glaze: temaku and chun. Temaku is brown when thin and black where it is thicker.

Red violin

This red violin was fired twice (following the bisque firing) - first at 1080C with a turquoise glaze then at 1300C with temaku and chun glazes. The red is a combination of temaku with copper from the turquoise glaze.

Brown violin

Ceramic of course! I was delighted with this one. Click on it to see the music.
