Crazy Corn

In a crazy corn dish!

Sometimes when you move, you unearth some cool stuff that you forgot about. I just happened to have this wacky ear of corn in the fridge, to go along with the dish. This piece is from the 2006 Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts, Salad Days event. The artist that year was Patrick Coughlin.
Jeff did a residency at Watershed, some years back, and went to the salad days event a number of times. He has a cool collection of plates from the fundraiser. Here is a link to 20 years of Salad Days Plates - Watershed Center For Ceramic Arts - Newcastle Maine.
Happy Friday, and don't forget to eat your vegetables.

I like to jump right in...

I am really bad about doing tests. I have a habit of experimenting directly on pots. Like these mugs...

I brushed on a black Amaco underglaze and wiped it off. The plan is to glaze the lower half in Temple White and the interior and upper half in gloss green. I want to see how the black looks under the white because I have all those little porcelain dishes that I want to use this technique on. Who knows how the green will look in combination with the white and black! They went in the kiln tonight and we fire tomorrow. I should have results by Sunday, so stay tuned!

Found this photo on my camera tonight...
