I LOVE PAINTING AS WELL AS POTTERY

As well as pottery my other love is painting, so I have tried my hand at painting on some of my pots using underglaze before they are bisque fired.  In case there is a problem with the firing, I photographed them for my records.  

The background is not too hot as it was a last minute decision at pottery on Monday and I didn't have any special backing. 

 With the exception of the two triple sets, all the others have been thrown on the wheel.   The flat ones are plate/dish shapes about 8-9 cms in height.  As a newbie, I was not unhappy with the results, still can't seem to throw anything taller than about 20cms in height, but I'm trying.

These are a few of the items waiting for a long overdue

fired it up yet.
