Over the past few days I have spent a lot of time in the ceramics studio practicing making these sheets of “A4” ceramics. I have got the technique down pretty well to make a very thin sheet now, and have almost managed to perfect removing the sheets without tearing the edges. However I actually prefer some of the sheets with ripped and frayed edges.

As shown in the pictures I have also added a number of different patterns and techniques onto the sheets, including some small amounts of oxides, some etching, stained slips and cut away sections of the sheet.

I will fire all of these tomorrow and then on Friday I will be able to collect them and discuss the physical qualities of them with Mike Stubbs.
