Black Sheep
I bought some yarn that had been spun from the fleece of a black sheep. It's a beautiful, warm brown color. I tried to recreate that in this sculpture. I used a translucent glaze that I made myself and used both white and brown clay hoping that the differences in the clay would be apparent through the glaze. I tested the glaze in an electric kiln. This piece was fired in a gas kiln in oxidation. I didn't quite get what I wanted from the glaze, but I do like the overall sculpture.
