1-Snowman blue hat orange dot

Three little balls, just like when we were little, is how these snowmen start! A hat and carrot are added. Multiple layers of slip are painted on the body, with hours drying time in between each coat, and high temp sculpted wire added for the arms. Color is added to the hat and carrot, then lastly the details of the stripes or dots and they eyes and buttons. Clay sculpture is left to dry for a week or more. After first firing, the snowman is stained and washed giving a old, vintage look, then left to dry overnight. glaze is painted onto the carrot and hat and fired to maturity.

Such a simple object that holds loads of memories, dreams and stories for so many!
