Great ideas for my next set of teacups and teapots!

Took 20x teapots, teacups and saucers to be fired today. Very excited.

Auckland Art and Craft Fair

Auckland Art and Craft Fair

So I'm really excited to have been chosen to be one of the vendors for the Auckland Art and Craft Fair - http://aucklandfair.blogspot.com. It's a fabulous event with a great selection of vendors. I was interviewed and you can find my interview here - http://aucklandfair.blogspot.com/2011/05/artist-interview-shellyduck-ceramics.html.

To be ready for the fair I have been doing lots of painting. I've taken a few photos of the painting process.

1. Arrival of teapots. I get my ceramics from Studio Ceramics and its wonderful (if a little daunting) to get big boxes full of teapots, cups saucers etc. All ready to be painted...

In the meantime I prepare my templates..

I copy the image on to the ceramics with carbon paper and then paint over this.

A couple of teapots ready to be glazed and fired.
