This is a foil saggar piece. I started off forming a small shape out of clay which is intended to hold jewelry. Once that dried some, I collected leaves and small flowers from outside. Also, the wiring is wrapped around the piece to give it a black textured look after it s fired. Finally, I had to wrap all of it up in aluminum foil. When it is fired, all of the foil, leaves, flowers, and wire will have burned away leaving the clay with a colorful unique look. The hardest part was probably forming the shape of the piece out of wet clay and getting it to stay in place. I really enjoyed doing this project because I used flowers and it will become a jewelry holder. |
