@atelierable.bsky.social hey there, I was looking at 15th/16th century playing cards and ran across this image I thought you'd appreciate, from about 1450. The cards are suited by kingdom, so she is the 2 of Bohemia

Studio Log : Bisque Kiln firing up tonight - lots of tiny test pieces and some base slabs gping in the bisque kiln tonight , looking forward to fin out how the porcelain paperclay behaves #annadeeceramics #ceramics #pottery #artyear #contemplativeart #paperclay #ukceramics #kiln

Studio Log : Porcelain Paperclay - after a first day of not getting on at all with this type of clay , day 2 and it is dried out a bit , the slab compacted a bit and the test claycutters worked - bisque kiln shelf one done — onwards #annadeeceramics #clay #pottery #ceramics #contemplation

Studio Log: - 2 recommendations for trying this Flax Paper clay with a porcelain body to see if it holds up to my tiny detail work -it is very moist upon opening a pliable & soft - coffee first, leave it to dry a little then play #paperclay #annedeeceramics #ceramics #pottery #artyear

Lots of gorgeous pottery stain’s and ceramic oxides to choose from , so great to see colour references on how they burn and being able to try out small Quantities #annadeeceramics #pottery #ceramis #artyear #masonstain #oxide #pottersonbluesky

Research Log : Ceramics - underglaze tests are out of the bisque kiln , pleased to see the white underglaze working well over the colours , they mix well and 2 layers quite sufficient and not too streaky - black a bit grey, red tad pink #wtqclay #pottery #ceramics #pottersonbluesky #artyear #art

Research Log : Ceramic - time to put the underglaze tests into the kiln - need to find a strong white extrasmooth firing clay that can handle mini sculptural details , - any recommendations for #smallceramics clay welcome #wtqclay #ceramics #pottery #pottersonbluesky #art #clay #artyear
