CCACA Poster

Check out the amazing artists I get to work in the studio with! I have been putting together this poster to advertise our gallery and school around Davis. We leave tomorrow morning, wish us luck!

CCACA Preview

Here they are. I took a quick shot of them as I was pulling them out of the kiln. Materials: FROST Midrange Porcelain Paper Clay, Underglazes. Today I made titles.

From left to right : Little Black Party Dress, Serpentine Tea Dress, and Red Hot Hearts Dress.

The excitment is brewing as we get ready to go on our journey CCACA. I am putting the final touches the HSU ceramic flyer 2009. Very cool art. To be posted soon.

Oh And These too

Two posts in one day?
Yes, I forgot to post this wall hanging: I am working on a bunch. A shoe series, a big hat lady series, and more!

New Dresses, Amazing Glazing

Sorry about the wait, I'm sure ya'll have been waiting eagerly for my next post!
Well....HERE IT IS!

The newest edition to erin's closet are teacup dresses:

There are four dresses total in this size. I don't know how to finish it yet. Last semester I tried a bunch of colors and finishes, but white is nice too.


Here's four from last semester.




And Mom, I found some glaze combos for you and as soon as I can I will figure out your tray package to post at my new store GARDEN OF ERIN (www.gardenoferin.etsy.com). Here is a taste of your goodies:

All dressed up with nowhere to go

The dresses are done...
but now what?

Most of the color is underglaze that became hot enough to flux and add a subtle sheen. I love working at cone 6 (2264 degrees f) with the color on porcelain.

The results are unique to the clay and temp in my opinion. Hot enough to flux, cool enough to keep the colors vivid.

The ruffle dress has a glaze (top peach color- Tangerine Ice) and the rest is underglaze too.

They're fragile, but at least they are done.

dress update

I finished building the first ruffles dress. And successfully moved it to and from the first firing!!!! Only one or two firings left.

My teardrop dress has come a long way as well, however I am not sure if the top of the dress is interesting enough to balance the layered bottom. I am still working the idea out, but the bottom half is built!

answers and small results

If you want to talk about ordering something, just email me for now. I am setting up a store on Etsy.com so soon orders can be made that way.
I guess the prices for the trays would be from $8- $14, depending on the glazes wanted or what surface. And if you want a set it may be different.


Here are two dresses. The left one re-fired from last semester. The one on the right is the first dress of this semester, so far, maybe I'll fire it again.
