Work inspired by costume 1-making process




This series of work was inspired by Leon Bakst's costume design. 


Here is the making process.

Firstly, I made the round structures by throwing, then slab built the triangle volumes.

As to the colour, I chose the pink green from Tiranti, NC026 green,NC017 yellow, NC010 red and NC047 purple from Nano stains, along with some cobalt oxide.

I tried two ways of colouring. One is pressing the powder of stain directly into the clay body, another is mixing stain with water first, and then brushing it on.




The cobalt oxide will turn into blue after firing, so the work is a yellow to blue hue with a little red.
