Pot deliberately cooked while a bit damp. Sprayed with ferric chloride, on a bed of sawdust sprayed with sodium chloride, some coffee grounds and copper wire wrapped around. The pot fell off the wheel and cracked in half before firing. The coffee grounds I think were too damp and adhered to the pot. Didn't expect much from the copper wire but the ended up with lovely red ribbons. . I have about a dozen tumblers ready to go through the process once I'm happy with the colours. Also once they are totally dry. . #ceramic #pottery #art #clay #colour #experiment
