Coloured clays

 I  began colouring clay to replicate natural earth tones, without the use of glazes.  I use stains and oxides , which I  mix into the clay.   Again , I texture  , and layer  strips of colored clay to achieve  specific effects.  Some pieces are reminiscent of a sunset, others the  veins of minerals in  rock cliffs.

  This technique  offers limitless possibilities  to the clay artist.
