Making the mould was the grossest thing I’ve ever done. But the dead pigeon wings have come out quite well 🤔

Pre-fired porcelain with different solidified glazes.

Lean with me… Over-firing can be a tricky line to walk, but there is beauty to be found in the drunk and wobbly.

Super stoked I managed to achieve this old weathered mould look with porcelain. Pre fire so hopefully the kiln gods are feeling kind.

The plaster mould I turned from a jigger-jolly blade I found in the abandoned TGGreens factory. Originally a mould making blade, I flipped it round and turned a plaster model on which this porcelain piece is built.

Who says porcelain has to be delicate?

Did anyone else do grave rubbings as a kid?

I tried the same on an old mould held together with rusted straps.

It gives interesting ultrasound vibes, no?
