Testphase for an installation

Stephan has created supports that will hold the drop during firing. Once fired, these supports are part of the visual language & composition when it is suspended.

Another steep learning curve: making hanging objects in the form of a droplet. As a round drop has no base you need to think about how you are going to fire it, because you don’t want the glaze to stick to the ovenplates.

Glazing in a raw state is a challenge as the clay is very brittle and prone to cracking.

And it just fit’s in the oven! Very excited how these tests will survive 1220° Celsius.
