I LOVE it. I loved throwing with it. I loved decorating it. I still have noodle bowls and plates to decorate. And a cake stand. When I get the time, I will finish those up.
Set of hanging bowls in my kitchen:
Feeling a very strong urge to do a serious red earthenware/majolica exploration. Not sure if it will actually see fruition or not. Wondering if it such a prudent idea to jump around in what I produce. I'm always telling myself that I need to focus and establish myself. But man, are the ideas swimming around in my head.
I'm not crazy about the actual decorating that I did, need to work on my drawing skills abit. But enjoy the overall feel. Maybe I can warm up the majolica base (with red iron? anyone? I'm using Linda Arbuckle's recipe.)

Your pasta bowl and the curry dinner look great! Have you thought about doing a non-traditional majolica with cone six stoneware?
Hi Jim and Gina! Curry dinner was good. (I've just started a new vegan food blog, if you want the recipe... vegandishcooks.blogspot.com)
Gina- I haven't explored cone 6 majolica. Does it have the same look? Just with a higher temperature firing? Will have to look into that...
Look out that red clay is addictive!!! Ha. I've thought about majolica too.
I've used the maiolica glaze from John and Ron's "Mastering Cone 6 Glazes". I only used it once to make a custom piece but it worked great. If you have some customers who prefer stoneware it might be worth trying out.
