Post-glaze firing

These are my clay ceramics showing post-glaze firing at DUT City Campus 

This is the progress after my last post. These are my Clay ceramics done and dusted showing post-glaze firing. This has been a fantastic experience for me to think that I can make a very good thing like this for the first time in my life. On my pendants I used ropes and also beads so that I can be able to wear it for myself. I didn't find it that bad for this long process of making these clay ceramics. 

I was very amazed that I can make something so beautiful with my own hands. The most challenging part was whereby I had to make everything with clay of which I haven't done it before. The pinching and shaping of clay was very rigid. 

Pre-glaze firing

Compared to the previous post , these are my clay ceramics so far that I have painted also preparing for a glaze firing. I really enjoyed a lot doing it. It helped me with hand and eye coordination, creativity and a problem solver. It also builds my self-confidence and teaches me to be an independent person. 

I will also use overglaze paint to paint all my clay ceramics to prepare for a glaze firing. And also wait for it to dry out. This has been a good experience for me so far.

Coloring Clay Ceramics

This is where I was working on the colours for Clay Ceramics at Studio 2nd Years 

Here I was working on the colours I chose for my Clay ceramics. To mention few yellow, green, pink, purple, blue, lime and white. Some of the colours I chose they represents me, in such a way that Yellow brings fun and joy. I also had fun making these clay ceramics. The pink color made me feel accepted of what I was doing.

These clay ceramics boosted my self-esteem making me feel proud of myself of what I have brought to life with clay.
